It’s a year or so after the end of Den of Thieves and Malden has settled into his job for Cutbill, the master of the Thieves’ Guild of Ness, using his skills to nab would-be amateur thieves and make them either work for Cutbill or give up thievery. Meanwhile, the revoltingly over-honorable Croy meets Mörget, a barbarian from the plains across an almost impassable mountain range to the east of Skrae, who also has one of the Ancient Blades. He says he’s encountered a demon and is looking for a little help in tracking it down and killing it. Croy tries to talk Malden into accompanying them, but he doesn’t want to—until he meets a man in monk’s robes who demonstrates his ability to kill him, and then threatens to kill him in a few days. Malden then decides to join their expedition to the mountains after all, and accompanied by the lovely sorceress Cythera and the exiled dwarf Slag, they travel to the mountains and enter an elaborate series of caves once inhabited by dwarves, but for the last several hundred years the prison of the surviving elves of Skrae. (Whether any elves are still surviving is unknown.) And then there are a lot of adventures underground; good action and good characters. Croy is still as insufferable as ever, but Mörget and Slag are well-done (Slag appeared in the first book, but was very minor) and Malden and Cythera are at least as good as they were in that one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Thief in the Night: Book Two of the Ancient blades *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2014* As a thief, Malden is unparalleled in the Free City of Ness. But he has no desire to take up arms against the forces of horrific evil. Yet by saving the life of the knight Croy, Malden has bound himself to an ancient, noble brotherhood and he now possesses a magical weapon forged at the dawn of time, one of only seven swords with incredible powers.The plot of A Thief in the Night is just like Den of Thieves and not at all predictable. Chandler’s writing makes you form a mental conclusion for the end of the novel but manages to leave you with mouth open forming an “I didn’t expect that to happen”. Still, I felt a little let down by a thief novel turning into a more Indiana Jones style adventure. But A Thief in the Night still kept me excited to find out how the end of the story unfolds in book 3, Honour Among Thieves. Well worth the time and effort in reading this series. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars i liked the first book but this one annoyed me *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2011* Spoilers.In the first book, one KEY POINT in both the plot and the characters' relationships was that the Woman could not touch her love interests or would end up discharging lethal amounts of magical energy into them.In this second book, a KEY POINT is that the Woman can now discharge said lethal energy into inanimate objects - e.g. to break down doors - and afterwards be fine and able to touch things and people without risk.WHAT. Why was there so much whining in the first bok about how she couldn't touch people - boohoo what a lonely and sad existence - if she could just touch some doors and then be OK. This really really frustrated me.Also, in this book, Our Hero wins the Woman's heart by pouting and acting snippy when she doesn't pay attention to him. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/35003311-a-thief-in-the-night-book-two-of-the-ancient](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/35003311-a-thief-in-the-night-book-two-of-the-ancient) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
