The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes
Loch is seeking revenge. It would help if she wasn’t in jail. The plan: to steal a priceless elven manuscript that once belonged to her family, but now is in the hands of the most powerful man in the Republic. To do so Loch—former soldier, former prisoner, current fugitive—must assemble a crack team of magical misfits that includes a cynical illusionist, a shapeshifting unicorn, a repentant death priestess, a talking magical warhammer, and a lad with seemingly no skills to help her break into the floating fortress of Heaven’s Spire and the vault that holds her family’s treasure—all while eluding the unrelenting pursuit of Justicar Pyvic, whose only mission is to see the law upheld. What could possibly go wrong? The Palace Job is a funny, action-packed, high-fantasy heist caper in the tradition of Scott Lynch’s Gentleman Bastards series, from debut author Patrick Weekes.Patrick Weekes was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and earned a BA and an MA in English literature from Stanford University. Patrick joined the BioWare writing team in Alberta, Canada, in 2005. Since then, he's worked on all three Mass Effect games, contributing to the creation of characters such as Mordin, Tali, and Samantha Traynor. He's presently working on the third game in the critically acclaimed Dragon Age series with the Dragon Age team. Tali's issue in Dark Horse Comics' Mass Effect: Homeworlds series and Dragon Age: Masked Empire are examples of tie-in fiction he's authored for both series.
Patrick, his wife Karin, his two Lego- and video-game-obsessed sons, and (now) nine rescued animals reside in Edmonton. He spends his free time making ludicrous Lego models, practicing Kenpo Karate, and embarrassing himself in video games.
