The Thrice-Bound Fool
The Thrice-Bound Fool is the epic, rollicking next chapter in the bestselling and “awesome as hell” (Nicholas Eames) fantasy adventure series that began with The Blacktongue Thief.
Professional thief and inveterate trickster Kinch Na Shannack has always enjoyed a good book. But now his life, and the future of all of Manreach, depends on him deciphering a very bad book indeed; a stolen, sentient tome that tries to kill him every time he opens it—and often when it’s closed.
Galva, veteran of the goblin wars and death’s sworn handmaiden, has vowed to protect Kinch while he mines the book for its dark magic and even darker secrets. She does so not for Kinch’s sake—though the cheeky bastard is growing on her—but because the book is the key to stopping the shadowy tyrants out to kill the queen she serves, and loves.
The ruthless, all-seeing Taker’s Guild dogs their every step, and thief and knight must flee the known world entirely if they hope to succeed in their mission. But trouble finds Kinch wherever he goes, and the pair may have traded the devil they know for horrors far darker and hungrier as they enter lands unknown.

Christopher Buehlman
Christopher Buehlman has a unique ability to take the macabre and make it not only thrilling but eerily beautiful. As an author, he has an innate talent for weaving dark, atmospheric tales that grip readers from the first page and refuse to let go. His novels, often a blend of horror, fantasy, and historical fiction, transport readers to worlds where the line between the supernatural and the human condition blurs with unsettling results.
Buehlman’s storytelling journey began in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida, where he first began to explore his love for the darker side of fiction. Before he became an author, Buehlman had a varied career, dabbling in everything from acting to writing for TV. But it was his passion for storytelling—specifically for tales that embrace the gothic and the eerie—that led him to focus on his true calling: writing novels that delve into the unknown, the strange, and the terrifying.
Blacktongue
In Blacktongue, Christopher Buehlman invites readers into a grim, vividly realized world where violence, magic, and twisted allegiances shape the fate of its characters. This dark fantasy series is a striking departure from typical tales of heroes and villains, weaving together intricate world-building with rich, morally complex characters who live on the edge of survival.
Blacktongue consists of one primary book, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
