Jeremiah is unlike other thieves in the city of Peak Dreams. She understands ancient poetry, speaks seven dead languages, and freezes at the sound of thunderstorms. Tilvas isn’t like other aristocrats of Peak Waves either. He sold his castle; his shadow behaves strangely; and a mysterious amulet hangs on his chest. That amulet is meant to be stolen by Jeremiah. A simple job. Too simple for everything to really be as easy as it seems.
A standalone story from the world of “Sholokh.” New heroes and a new land—Shærkhənmista! The novel “The Order of the Gloomy Veil” unfolds not in the cozy capital of the Forest Kingdom, as in the previous books of the cycle, but in dark castles, on lonely roads, and along barren shores, where gloomy shadows come alive.
What ties together an unbalanced head of a thieves’ guild, a sarcastic aristocrat with a deceptive smile, and the thief who shares the image of a noble lady? Their paths didn’t just cross—they got tightly intertwined into a knot, and each of them refuses to believe that such coincidences are possible. Author’s mythology, a twisty detective story, light prose, adventures, and a unique atmosphere—all the reasons we love “Sholokh.” The print runs of books from this universe have exceeded 50,000 copies.
