Chornoiazykyi zlodii - Christopher Buhlman

Kinch owes the Guild of Thieves a fortune - his thieving education, which consisted of picking locks, knife fighting, climbing walls, weaving lies, setting traps, and a little bit of magic, proved to be very expensive. In order to get the money and repay the debt, Kinch sets off on a long journey in the hope of robbing a lone traveller. But the unlucky robber chose the wrong victim.
