Ralan's journey across the desert ends at the Empty Bucket—a rickety inn in Kallisto, where Rebecca's surprising gold coin and and Flitt's stubborn loyalty raises questions no one can answer.

Ralan&#x27;s journey across the desert ends at the Empty Bucket—a rickety inn in Kallisto, where Rebecca&#x27;s surprising gold coin and and Flitt&#x27;s stubborn loyalty raises questions no one can answer.

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 told via a full cast and that grows in scope with new chapters every day. 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 serial audiobook.

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?

Episode 1: Black Steel

In the dragon's lair, Maela and Darla uncover armor and weapons forged from mysterious black steel—perfectly fitted, impossibly sharp, and marked by an unknown master.


Episode 2: A Blush of Red

Maela's enchanted blades carry a terrible price—a wound that never stops bleeding. Darla, however, has a plan.


Episode 3: The Quartermaster

Kray and Raef gear up for their return journey to Gaotteland, but first they must navigate the Craft guild's quartermaster.


Episode 4: The Rivers of Ness

Raef and Kray navigate the corrupt streets of Ness, where knights demand tribute at every turn, but their true journey lies ahead. A geography lesson reveals hidden rivers, lost expeditions, and forgotten cities—and as they pass through the Great Gate, Dragon's Road stretches before them toward secrets buried in history.


Episode 5: Pete's Estate

Pete's new estate is a marvel—stone walls, a glass observatory, and a view that stretches across all of Ness. But luxury breeds suspicion. Neighbors loyal to Orion watch from next door, and a mysterious tower lurks near the ash fields, visible only through a strange device. Some gifts come with guards for a reason.


Episode 6: Surveying the Grounds

Pete settles into a life of luxury that isn't his—feather beds, marble baths, a wardrobe fit for nobility. But comfort is a disguise, and his real mission is deadly.
