About this listen

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.

From Nebula, Sturgeon, and StorySouth Award nominee Jake Kerr comes an epic fantasy story in the spirit of pulp fiction classics--a serial adventure that grows in scope every week. The Thieves Guild tells the story of Ralan, a street rat who quickly rises to become the guildmaster of the seemingly powerless and symbolic Thieves Guild. Dive into a rich world of geographical conflict and political intrigue that ignites epic battles and civil war. Uncover forgotten magic, swashbuckling adventure, secret societies, and witness heroic feats in this full cast fantasy audio drama.

The Thieves Guild is the story of a young man thrust into a role he never expected to fill. And what’s with all the dragon geographic names? Is there a long-forgotten dragon waiting in the mountains?
