The Beginning of an Epic Adventure...Jute can break into any house, climb any wall, and steal anything--and he just got hired for what he thinks is an easy burglary job. The only problem is, if he succeeds, the Thieves Guild is going to murder him. He just doesn't know that. Not yet. Being a thief always came easy for him, but it's a lot harder now, particularly when everyone wants him dead. Hiding out in the city of Hearne, Jute finds some strange allies in an old wizard and a talking hawk. Together, they uncover an ancient secret of terrifying power.All Jute needs to do is stay alive long enough to figure out why there's a price on his head, why a deadly shadow is stalking him, and why the dark is haunting his dreams. Also, why on earth isthe wind talking to him?The Hawk And His Boy is the first book of The Tormay Trilogy. The trilogy continues with The Shadow At The Gate, and concludes with The Wicked Day. These books are not stand-alone stories, but are part of the larger tale of The Tormay Trilogy.
