Path of Beasts
The city of Jewel is in peril once again, as it is held captive by the frightful Fugleman, his band of Blessed Guardians, and an army of merciless mercenaries. There's no doubt that Goldie and Toadspit want to get their city back, but how can a small group of children fight against such overwhelming forces of evil? Goldie is determined to avoid bloodshed but, in a war that will set thieves against soldiers, and trickery and deception against a mighty cannon that shoots cannonballs bent on destruction, how can they ever triumph?
As Toadspit fights the Fugleman in a duel to the death, Goldie must face her hardest task yet. If she is to save the city, she must walk the mysterious Beast Road, deep inside the Museum of Thieves. No one knows where it goes and no one has ever returned from it...

Welcome to the tyrannical city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime.
Goldie Roth has lived here all her life. Like every child in the city, she wears a silver guardchain and is forced to obey the dreaded Blessed Guardians. She has never done anything by herself and won't be allowed out on the streets unchained until Separation Day.
When Separation Day is cancelled, impatient Goldie runs away to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets a boy named Toadspit and discovers dangerous secrets. Only a thief can navigate these corridors - luckily Goldie has a hidden talent. But the leader of the Blessed Guardians has his own plans for the museum - plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a daring thief to stop him...
'Museum of Thieves' is a thrilling tale of destiny and danger, and of a courageous girl who has never been allowed to grow up - until now.
