The Silver Thief

The Cycle of Galand #2 / 10 ✓
by Edward W. Robertson
The Silver Thief (The Cycle of Galand #2) by Edward W. Robertson
Unrated

Dante Galand has cured the sickness that trapped him on the Plagued Islands. Now, it's time to leave.

And kill a priest.

The target is Gladdic of Bressel. Gladdic, who executed Dante's friend, the pirate Captain Twill. Who all but enslaved the Plagued Islands. And whose visions of empire are far from over. But Gladdic is trained in both ether and nether—and a darker magic than Dante has ever known.

He's the most dangerous foe Dante has faced. And if Dante falls, so will an entire kingdom.

Set in a USA TODAY bestselling world, THE SILVER THIEF is the second book in the Cycle of Galand.

Edward W. Robertson

When Edward W. Robertson writes, he doesn't just build worlds—he watches them burn and rise again. From crumbling civilizations in his Breakers series to the epic, war-torn landscapes of The Cycle of Arawn and The Cycle of Galand, his work pulses with tension, grit, and the kind of moral complexity that keeps readers up long past midnight.

Robertson first emerged on the fantasy and science fiction scene with a quiet but deliberate presence. That presence soon erupted into a million books sold, a USA Today bestseller title, and accolades including Audie and Voice Arts Award nominations. But behind the numbers is a writer who has never shied away from asking the hard questions: What happens when the world ends? What does power cost? And can redemption survive in the aftermath?

Raised in the wide-skied deserts of the American West, Robertson’s sense of scale—of distance, survival, and desolation—runs deep through his stories. His academic foundation in fiction from NYU gave him the tools to hone that voice, and after stints in New York, Idaho, L.A., and Hawaii, he now writes full time, balancing apocalyptic stakes with human vulnerability.

Readers who follow his fantasy sagas know the weight his characters carry: heroes shaped by failure, villains born of pain, and choices that ripple far beyond the page. The Cycle of Galand, which concluded with its tenth book in 2024, built on the legacy of The Cycle of Arawn with even deeper emotional resonance and sharper political intrigue. Meanwhile, his latest series, The Cycle of the Scour, continues to prove that high fantasy doesn't have to be predictable to be powerful.

Whether chronicling the fall of modern civilization or the rise of reluctant mages, Robertson doesn’t write escapism—he writes consequence. And in every shattered city or bloodstained battlefield, he leaves just enough light to believe the story isn’t over yet.
