An omnibus of novels by Lars Machmüller
THEFT OF DECKS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (Books 1–4)
When the rich hog all the magic, there's only one thing a good thief can do. Steal the whole damn deck.
On the world of Ordei, power comes from cards, and the cards belong to the Lightborn. Everyone else gets to watch. Chase is a Darkborn pickpocket from the Waves, the wrong end of the frontier town of Isarn, with no education, no prospects, and one hand fewer than he started with, courtesy of Lightborn justice. What he does have is a crew of low-lives who'd walk through fire for him, a grudge the size of a cathedral, and a plan.
Nobody cares where you came from once you're rich enough. So if the churches, the nobles and a thousand years of prejudice won't let him earn a deck of his own, Chase will just have to take one. Then another. Then all five.
BOOK ONE
A crew of nobodies, a city that wants them gone, and the heist that starts it all. Time to use that five-finger discount.
BOOK TWO
Two legendary decks stolen, Light and Darkness, and the entire Church of the Circle out for blood. The only safe place left is the Elemental Towers, home of the greatest library on Ordei. Also home to some very shiny decks.
BOOK THREE
The stronghold in Earth's Ward was meant to be the end of running. Instead the crew's last shot at survival lies deep in the Furyborn wilds, with a tribe famous for turning outsiders into fertiliser and their most sacred possession: the Fury deck.
BOOK FOUR
Four decks down, one to go. The Liberty deck could make Chase's crew untouchable, but the Liberty nation vanished decades ago behind walls of fog, ruled by something that rivals the gods. Impossible odds, near-certain death and no common sense whatsoever. Their specialty.
D&D meets Magic: The Gathering in this epic fantasy deckbuilding LitRPG. Heists, found family, gallows humour and a magic system where every card you steal rewrites the rules. Now collected in one volume from beginning to end.
Four full-length novels. Over [X] pages. One crew, five decks, and the biggest heist Ordei has ever seen. Deal yourself in.
