THE THOUSAND DEATHS OF ARDOR BENN

Tyler Whitesides

First book in a new trilogy - which follows the escapades ofthe infamous but lovable Ardor Benn, set in a world with original dragon-fueled magic. With nonstop action, twisty turns, and clever ruses, this novel also breathes new life into longstanding fan-favorite trope: the fantasy heist story.

"I'm hiring you to steal the king's crown."
Ardor Benn is no ordinary thief. Rakish, ambitious, and master of wildly complex heists, he styles himself a Ruse Artist Extraordinaire.

When a priest hires him for the most daring ruse yet, Ardor knows he'll need more than quick wit and sleight of hand. Assembling a dream team of forgers, disguisers, schemers, and thieves, he sets out to steal from the most powerful king the realm has ever known.

But it soon becomes clear there's more at stake than fame and glory - Ard and his team might just be the last hope for human civilization.

When he's not writing, Tyler enjoys playing percussion, hiking, fly fishing, cooking, and theater. Tyler is a bestselling children's author. He lives in the mountains of northern Utah with his wife and son.

The world of Ardor Benn is fascinating, deep, and well written... This is a very impressive debut and Tyler Whitesides is clearly a talented writer with a lot of potential.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is easily the best fantasy-heist book I have read in years!

The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn delivers. From start to finish this is an amazing read.

Whitesides sticks the landing in his conclusion to the Kingdom of Grit trilogy.T he quest takes numerous unexpected turns as it builds to a thoroughly satisfying climax. Whitesides excels at balancing detailed worldbuilding and page-turning plot, sprinkling in plenty of humor along the way. This is a worthy finale to the series, and Whitesides's fans will be eager to see what he does next. Read more...

Commendable adult fantasy debut... fun, entertaining and has a unique magic system... pretty darn cool.

Ardor is a rogue with a heart of gold and his team is incredibly fun to follow, but we also love this one of the originality of its heist.

A cracking introduction to a new fantasy world that demands further exploration.

If you enjoy The Lies of Locke Lamora ...then I can confidently predict that The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn is the book for you... Highly recommended.

Mission Impossible, but with magic, dragons, and a series of heists that go from stealing a crown to saving the world. A fun, terrific read I heartily recommend.
