Maygest's Tale (Tales from Land of Maygest Book 1)

Maygest, an arthritic old thief, who has been conning the people of war-torn Osskrip for the last decade, finds his plans for a comfortable happily-ever-after halted as the once-feuding warlords join forces and raze all the thieving towns, together. With nowhere left to turn to for filling his pockets, Maygest, ever coin-loving, decides to just rob the war camp instead; however, his plans go awry as he discovers not gold, but a child—his own. Suddenly the future matters, and Maygest, along with his son, his adopted daughter, and an old friend, flee desolate Osskrip with the hopes of finding a mythical harp that is said will finally bring peace to the ravaged lands. The merry group, however, doesn’t suspect that a thing Maygest stole would cause the whole wrath of the Osskrip army to turn against them and pursue them into the far reaches of the world. As time runs out for Maygest, both in his years and with the closeness of that ever rabid troop, he and his group begin to suspect that the mythical harp only exists in Maygest’s head. Will Maygest’s quest have all been for nothing, after all?
