Boston - Fall, 1770 After a summer of conflict and innumerable delays, the trial of the British soldiers responsible for Boston's bloody massacre is set to begin. On the eve of the proceedings, however, magickal attacks on the lawyers representing both sides threaten to thwart justice yet again. Ethan Kaille-thieftaker and conjurer-is hired by Samuel Adams himself to protect the attorneys, a task more perilous than either of them knows. For a new conjurer has come to Boston. Ruthless, canny, beautiful, possessed of spellmaking talent that dwarfs Ethan's own, she is driven by dark ambitions that will brook no interference. Now Ethan finds himself fighting for his own life, the lives of those who matter to him most, and the very survival of his city. He must master new magicks and trust in powers he never knew existed. And he must do so before the Patriot cause and its greatest champions are destroyed. The Loyalist Witch: Thieftaker, Fall 1770 collects in a single volume the novella trilogy consisting of "The Witch's Storm," "The Cloud Prison," and "The Adams Gambit," the latest Thieftaker adventures from critically-acclaimed author D.B. Jackson

In Thieftaker , D. B. Jackson delivers a thrilling debut tale of magic and intrigue that will leave readers breathless and eager for more Ethan Kaille. Boston, 1765: In D.B. Jackson's Thieftaker, revolution is brewing as the British Crown imposes increasingly onerous taxes on the colonies, and intrigue swirls around firebrands like Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty. But for Ethan Kaille, a thieftaker who makes his living by conjuring spells that help him solve crimes, politics is for others...until he is asked to recover a necklace worn by the murdered daughter of a prominent family. Suddenly, he faces another conjurer of enormous power, someone unknown, who is part of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of power in the turbulent colony. His adversary has already killed--and not for his own gain, but in the service of his powerful masters, people for whom others are mere pawns in a game of politics and power. Ethan is in way over his head, and he knows it. Already a man with a dark past, he can ill afford to fail, lest his livelihood be forfeit. But he can't stop now, for his magic has marked him, so he must fight the odds, even though he seems hopelessly overmatched, his doom seeming certain at the spectral hands of one he cannot even see.
