Some jobs are too good to be true…
Professional con artist Darin Fields rarely passes up the chance to relieve wealthy fools of their coin. When he’s not out rigging horse races or planning jewelry heists, he slings ale in the Red Rooster’s common room and pretends the silver doesn’t call to him. Metallurgy is a curse, no matter what the old witch Seraphina says. Besides, he’s spent most of his life learning how to avoid attention. Not so for Evie, who grew up in the trappings of wealth before her family fell on hard times. She knows how to talk and act around high borns, a useful skill for any grifter. If she or Darin gets in too much trouble, Big Tom can usually make it go away. The Red Rooster crew only takes a job if they can get away clean. So when a stranger offers them a fortune to boost a shipment of imperial dreamwine, Darin knows they should refuse. But thanks to a string of bad luck, they owe money to dangerous people. The payment for this heist would get them square and then some. Then again, there’s a reason no one has ever managed to steal imperial dreamwine.

Koboldt keeps the pace flying through the ensuing daring heist. Readers will hope to see more of Darin and company in future installments.
–Publishers Weekly (full review)
This epic fantasy about a crew of misfits with just a touch of magic and heartbreaking backstories is a rollicking good time of a read.
–Library Journal (full review)
Rivalries, double-crosses, as well as schemes gone wrong and right fill the pages of this entertaining ride of a story.
–Booklist (full review)
Advance Reviews
Silver Queendom may be Koboldt’s first purely fantasy work and I love it.
–Anna Tan, Deeply Shallow (full review)
Very strong Locke Lamora vibes, with a soupçon of Patrick Rothfuss’ tavern of operations.
–Beth Hindmarch, Fantasy Hive (full review)
Silver Queendom by Dan Koboldt is a found family delight of a tale.
—Brigitte Herron, Bookstacked (full review)
If you have a fondness for heist stories, this one is not to be missed, especially if you enjoy the good humor and camaraderie of a fantastic group of characters.
–Mogsy, The Bibliosanctum (full review)
One of the most entertaining fantasy books that I’ve read in a long time.
–Sam Tyler, SFBook Reviews (full review)
It has many prominent female characters, to my delight. This was a fun read and I enjoyed it a lot.
–Mervi, Mervi’s Book Reviews (full review)
The humour was terrific, the characters were witty and entertaining, and the stories go so wrong and then surprisingly right!
–Amyah M. via NetGalley
This book is just good fun. It is light, entertaining and I would definitely read more stories set in this world.
–Fantasy Book Nerd, via NetGalley
This took the heist genre and the fantasy genre and blended it in a perfect mix of the two.
–Kathryn M, via NetGalley
Reminiscent of a little series called, “The Black Company.” If you are a fan of well-written Fantasy, do yourself a favor and read this one.
–Gary S, via NetGalley
