Previously released as a novella, Tools of a Thief is now a full length novel!

How do you stop being a thief? Zizy Zakar assumed quitting her job, stealing from her boss, and teleporting hundreds of miles away was one way to give it a go.

Getting in and out of sticky situations is her specialty. A little invisibility here, a bit of deception there, and she’s home free. But even a quick-fingered, fast-talking gnome can stumble into danger that tests her skills to stay alive.

Pressed into a mission she can’t say no to, Zizy feels desperate, displaced, and lonely. When she meets Laysa, a charming librarian with bold curiosity, Zizy can’t help but want to bring her along on this one last job. She’ll just hide her past, her present, and any complicated info about herself. What could go wrong?

Either she finishes the job and protects those she loves, or it all falls apart. Is this journey the ultimate key to unlocking a new path or another sticky situation she has to run from? She’ll use every tool she’s got to get what she wants.

what readers are saying

I’m enjoying this series! Hale Rambo has spun a world of intriguing and engaging characters. The first novel focused on Zizy. In the second we learn more about Laysa. I won’t spoil it for anyone so I’ll just say I felt like I was right there in the world with Laysa as she learned more about her powers. It’s refreshing to read a fantasy that is character-driven. You’ll want to stick with these adventurers. Can’t wait for book 3!

Tools a thief

This is a fun story full of adventure and magic. A gnome named Zizy ventures out on a mission demanded by her aunt to bring back to her a valuable relic. Along the way, she makes friends that happen to be going her way. They get caught in some mishaps as they go on this trek together. This tale is cute, an easy read and fast paced.

Tools of a Thief

This novella is a fun, fast-paced adventure about a gnome called Zizy who is tasked with finding a valuable object for her daunting aunt Emba. Along the way she meets Laysa, a librarian and Pace, who is trying to join his soldier sister in the north. It was confusing at first and felt like jumping into a book halfway through. It has the story of a full novel in a novella and needs more world building, explanation and fleshing out. There is potential for it to be a much better book as the characters are interesting and the adventure scenes are creative.
