First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Mark Harrison illustrated dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping to the spine tips, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents area clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£10.95 to the lower front flap).
The first novel in the Latro trilogy, which won the 1987 Locus Award for best fantasy novel, and was nominated for a Nebula and World Fantasy Award in the same year. It was followed by Soldier of Arete (1989) and Soldier of Sidon (2006). The UK edition precedes the American first edition by several weeks.
