The queen is determined not to let him get away again, and when she does catch him, she metes out a devastating punishment and sends him back to Eddis. The Queen of Attolia (2000) Having escaped the queen of Attolia in the past (as related in The Thief), Gen is not so lucky in this episode. The brilliance of the book (and its famous twist) comes to light through charming and cunning Gen's first-person narrative. Readers also meet the king of Sounis, the queen of Attolia and the queen of Eddis. Turner takes readers into the Hephestial Mountains that divide Sounis and Attolia, where Eddis provides a narrow mountain pass between them. Gen travels with the magus and his two apprentices, Ambiades and Sophos (whom Gen nicknames "Useless the Elder" and "Useless the Younger"), as well as Pol, the captain of Sophos's father's guard. He frees a thief (Gen), imprisoned for attempting to steal the king's royal seal, to aid him on his quest. The magus believes that if he can steal Hamiathes's Gift (an ancient stone that conferred power on its owner to reign as rightful ruler of Eddis), the magus can thus gain the kingdom of Eddis for Sounis. The Thief (1996) After the queen of Eddis turns down the marriage proposal by the king of Sounis, the king's magus (scholar) comes up with an alternate plan, which requires an expert thief.
