Shalnark is a shapeshifting thief trapped in a primitive foreign land. He has been saving up funds from his heists to charter the one ship that could take him home, but he needs an even larger sum quick before the ship sets sail on its next long voyage. When offered a dangerous, risky job by an old local thieving legend, Shalnark jumps at the opportunity to pull off the biggest heist of his career. His goal is finally within sight, but Shalnark must learn to temper his excitement before he allows his impatience to be his undoing.
The Silver Key is a short story that acts as a prelude to the novel, Festival of the Azure Moon; however, both stories can be enjoyed as stand-alone works without needing to read the other.
