A creature of the other world, an unnatural entity bent on chaos and carnage, has come to stalk the nighttime streets of the Galicien city of Davillon. There's never a good time for murder and panic, but for a community already in the midst of its own inner turmoil, this couldn't possibly have come at a worse one.
Not for Davillon, and not for a young thief who calls herself Widdershins.
It's been over half a year since the brutal murder of Archbishop William de Laurent during his pilgrimage to Davillon. And in all that time, Widdershins has truly tried her best. She's tried to take care of Genevieve's tavern and tried to make a semihonest living in a city slowly stagnating under the weight of an angry and disapproving Church. She's tried to keep out of trouble, away from the attentions of the Davillon Guard and above the secrets and schemes of the city's new bishop.
But she's in way over her head, with no idea which way to turn. The Guard doesn't trust her. The Church doesn't trust her. Her own Thieves' Guild doesn't trust her.
Too bad for everyone, then, that she and her personal god, Olgun, may be their only real weapon against a new evil like nothing the city has ever seen.

I'm out; I have no idea beyond character and place names what this has to do with the first book in series. Honestly, it's a combination of horror and serial killer with the heroine gone TSTL and lots of everyone murking about alleys either doing the murdering or seeking the murderer. Not my cup...
False Covenant is a good follow up to Thief's Covenant. I'm knocking half a star off my rating though because of yet another heartbreaking death of a character in this series. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. I'm going to take a break from this series now and think about whether or not...
Widdershins is absolutely relatable, lovable, hilarious, and entertaining. I would have to say that she is an incredibly successful fantasy character. Marmell really knows what he's doing and appears to be quite the hidden master of fantasy writing. As his only YA series, the Widdershins novels are ...
I just could not get into this book. I must have picked it up and put it down a dozen times. I'm starting to wonder if I'm in a reading slump. Yes dear reader, it even happens to me. Shocking.I love Theif's Covenant so much I got it for my little brother. It was darker then I normally like but the w...
Of the two Widdershins novels, The False Covenant is, by far, my favorite. I’ve decided that I want Widdershins as my friend. Seriously! I absolutely loved her in this book. And her loyalty never ceases to amaze me.The False Covenant was a darker, creepier read than its predecessor, Thief’s Cove...
