“A terrifically fun heist adventure in what is a unique and fascinating world.” - BookNest
A relentless thief. An impossible heist.
Meet Kef Cutmark. Pirate, monster-slayer, scourge of the Twisted Seas. After a lifetime of running from her past, she’s returned to Zorith – a tangled jungle of a thousand boats, all lashed together to make a floating city-ship. Zorith is powered by a device that draws energy from lightning. Mysterious, unique, and locked in an unbreachable tower, it’s the envy of Zorith’s rivals.
And Kef? She’s here to steal it.
If she can take the device and cripple Zorith, maybe she’ll find justice for all the hurt the city has caused her. But with an unreliable thieving crew, hunters closing in, and her past bearing down upon her, failure looks more likely. And if she fails, she’ll never find peace again.
The Thunder Heist is a fantasy tale of deception, thievery, and revenge. Perfect for fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora, Mistborn: The Final Empire, or The Gutter Prayer!
Reviews:
“As a reader who loves elaborate burglaries in any genre, I can say that Herne has written a really enjoyable rogue’s tale. The job itself is threaded through with complications, clever twists, setbacks, and emotional stakes.” – Grimdark Magazine.
"The Thunder Heist is a high-octane adventure that starts off full throttle and doesn’t let up." – Jordan Loyal Short, author of The Skald’s Black Verse.
"Kef struts across the pages with the bluster and bravado of a weather-beaten sea-dog who’s seen far too much, her dialogue cynical and sarcastic. Herne however, manages to give her much more depth beyond this so that she doesn’t come across as one-dimensional. Behind the wise-cracks is someone who cares, someone who bears emotional scars, and someone who is determined and completely self-reliant. [...] Oh and the internal art is AMAZING!!" - Bookends & Bagends.
“Herne has outdone himself here in creating a truly fascinating world in Entoris, in which humanity has forsaken the surrounding monster-infested lands to a life on the Twisted Seas. From floating cities made of thousands of boats chained together to deep ocean depths haunted by hungry leviathans to red skies lit by the debris of falling stars, there is so much to love here.” – BookNest.
“I truly felt like I was exploring a real world with a real logic underpinning all of the settings, character motivations and gadgets. Somehow he makes the concept of mutated humans with wings or gills, co-existing with humans with powers and humans without, entirely reasonable. The world Herne crafts isn't a fabrication; it's a real time and place.” - Rob Di Giovanni.
