Theft of Swords

This series of books went from self-published success to big publisher success and I'd also listened to the author discuss the series on a podcast. It's straight-up faux-medieval light-hearted adventure that is just pure fun to read, especially while on vacation. Volumes 1 through 3 each contain two stories (previously self-published books) about the adventures of Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater. Things get a bit dicey for them when they get framed for killing a king. Good stuff.
