The Thrice-Bound Fool

The Thrice-Bound Fool is the epic, rollicking next chapter in the bestselling and “awesome as hell” (Nicholas Eames) fantasy adventure series that began with The Blacktongue Thief. This program is read by the author.

"Along with his firsthand knowledge of the text and how he means it to be conveyed, [Christopher] Buehlman uses nuance, inflection, and a casual way of saying outrageous things to continually tickle the funny bone." —Kirkus Reviews on The Blacktongue Thief

Professional thief and inveterate trickster Kinch Na Shannack has always enjoyed a good book. But now his life, and the future of all of Manreach, depends on deciphering a very bad book indeed; a stolen, sentient tome that tries to kill him every time he opens it—and often when it’s closed.

Galva, veteran of the goblin wars and death’s sworn handmaiden, has vowed to protect Kinch while he mines the book for its dark magic and even darker secrets. She does so not for Kinch’s sake—though the cheeky bastard is growing on her—but because the book is the key to stopping the shadowy tyrants out to kill the queen she serves—and loves.

The ruthless, all-seeing Taker’s Guild dogs their every step, and thief and knight must flee the known world entirely if they hope to succeed. But trouble finds Kinch wherever he goes, and the pair may have traded the devil they know for horrors far darker and hungrier as they enter lands unknown.

"[Christopher] Buehlman wrote and narrated the title, so the listener is assured that every line is spoken as the author intended." —Booklist on The Blacktongue Thief
