Iorich -- Steven Brust

<p>House Jhereg, Dragaera's organized crime syndicate, is still hunting Vlad Taltos. There's a big price on his head on Draegara City. Then he hears disturbing news. Aliera--longtime friend, sometime ally--has been arrested by the Empire on a charge of practicing elder sorcery, a capital crime. <p/>It doesn't make sense. Everybody knows Aliera's been dabbling in elder sorcery for ages. Why is the Empire down on her now? Why aren't her powerful friends--Morrolan, Sethra, the Empress Zerika--coming to her rescue? And most to the point, why has she utterly refused to do anything about her own defense? <p/>It would be idiotic of Vlad to jump into this situation. He's a former Jhereg who betrayed the House. He's an Easterner--small, weak, short-lived. He's being searched for by the most remorseless killers in the world. Naturally, that's exactly why he's going to get completely involved... <p/>In <i>Iorich</i>, Steven Brust has crafted a complex and intriguing Vlad Taltos adventure.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Steven Brust<br><b>Publisher:</b> St. Martins Press-3PL<br><b>Published:</b> 02/01/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.64lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.24h x 5.54w x 0.84d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780765328892<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>STEVEN BRUST is the author of <i>Dragon</i>, <i>Issola</i>, <i>Jhegaala</i>, and the <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling <i>Dzur</i>, among many other popular fantasy novels.
