Book 01

Jamethon Trent, the second son of a low-ranking baron, once again finds himself in the city jail. This is nothing new for Jamethon; after being driven from home by an overbearing father and a bully older brother, he became a thief to survive. Thief he may be, but he only steals from thieves—which, it turns out, is a dangerous profession, as robbed thieves hold a grudge.

Jamethon’s life is never the same after a dying cell mate, a thief mage, gifts him a pair of enchanted gloves. The gloves are keys to what the mage calls the “side realm,” a dimension that exists alongside the real world. The gloves allow the wearer to reach into the side realm and steal whatever they can reach. However, the gloves turn out to be more of a curse than a gift, as fate takes particular delight in making Jamethon’s life . . . exciting at every turn.

Kings, generals, assassins, mages, spies, and thugs—he meets them all, and all seem to want to kill him. On the upside, the gloves does give him an advantage, but before he can use the advantage, he has to learn to use his ghost hands, to enter the side realm to become a ghost walker. Once he achieves that, he’ll be unstoppable.

Book 02

Jamethon Trent’s retirement is not going as planned, and working for King Arcus and General Mallet is not as easy as he had hoped. Jamethon tries to keep his family safe by changing his guise, name, and occupation. But the harder he tries, the more he is pulled into situations that put him and his family in danger. Jamethon and his family become targets when he stumbles into plans involving the royals, less-than-honest businessmen, and an organization that wants to take over countries by any means necessary. Trying to maintain his anonymity is proving to be a challenge, as those who seek him are willing to kill, steal, and destroy to find him. His enemy sends entire armies and powerful mages against him. They destroy his businesses and kill those around him to draw him into the open so they can end his interference in their plans once and for all. Jamethon must adapt to fight an evolving enemy that uses magic and military technology against anyone who opposes them or their agenda. Unfortunately for them, their attempts to stop Jamethon only strengthen his resolve to find out why they want him dead so badly and who is behind it.
