About the book

The Thorn of Emberlain is the long-awaited fourth entry in Scott Lynch’s Gentleman Bastard sequence, continuing the story of Locke Lamora and Jean Tannen as political intrigue escalates into open conflict. Set against the fractured power struggles of the Marrows, the novel promises to push the pair beyond heists and cons into high-stakes statecraft, espionage, and war. With unresolved revelations from earlier books still hanging over Locke’s identity and loyalties, this installment is positioned as a major turning point for both the characters and the wider series.
