fullDescription

Tsalmoth is the next installment in Steven Brust's bestselling Vlad Taltos series—hold on to your hats and get ready for another swashbuckling adventure!
First comes love. Then comes marriage...
Vlad Taltos is in love. With a former assassin who may just be better than he is at the Game. Women like this don't come along every day and no way is he passing up a sure bet.

More's the pity that his soul is sent walkabout to do it.
How might Vlad get his soul back and have any shot at a happy ending? Well, there's the tale...

     February 13, 2023
     Brust’s wise-cracking crime boss and witch Vlad Taltos returns for an exciting 14th fantasy noir replete with murder, magic, and love (after The Baron of Magister Valley). Vlad is a rare Easterner (read: human) living in the Dragaeran (read: elf) Empire, and he’s bought his way into the criminal House of the Jhereg. Brust’s series moves around on the timeline of Vlad’s life, and this installment fills in some of his early adventures while he is still a low-level boss engaged to fellow Easterner and assassin Cawti. Someone has killed a member of the house of Tsalmoth who owed Vlad 800 imperials, and Vlad hopes to find a way to recoup his loss. In Vlad’s hands, this mission becomes characteristically complicated: before the tale is over, the sorceresses of the Left Hand of the Jhereg become involved; Vlad (temporarily) becomes a demon; and the succession of the House of Tsalmoth comes into question. In between all the chaos, he and Cawti plan their wedding. Vlad’s narration is cocky and quick-witted as ever, and it’s a joy to revisit his usual costars, among them his strangely unnoticeable Jhereg employee, Kragar; his powerful Dragonlord friends Morrolan, Aliera, and Sethra Lavode; and his familiar, Loiosh. Series fans won’t want to miss this.

      Vladimir Taltos, a minor mob boss with high-placed connections, embarks on an unintentional adventure in the latest in the long-running, eponymous series (after Vallista, 2017). Vlad is planning his wedding to Cawti, who killed him once (but not permanently), while pursuing information on the sudden death of a Tsalmoth to whom he had lent money. Inconveniently, that Tsalmoth is permanently deceased, leading Vlad to research his known family and associates to determine who might be able to pay off the debt of 800 imperials (plus expenses). Vlad's first-person perspective is a meandering story told to a recording device, extending to his telepathic conversations with close friends during the adventure, his out-of-body experience, the shock of getting killed (again), differences in types of magic and criminal groups, and delightful ramblings about his and Cawti's food choices and which wedding traditions they've chosen to ignore or adapt. Tsalmoth is an easy introduction to Brust's Draegaran world for new readers and an exciting continuation for returning fans.
