When Jeniche, a sometimes successful thief, found her prison cell collapsing around her, she knew it was not going to be a good day. Certainly, the last thing she wanted once she had escaped into the war-torn city was to become involved with a group of monks and nuns on pilgrimage. Even less did she want to help them escape and guide them through the desert and into the mountains so they could get home. Of course, the last thing you want is often the first thing you get. In a world growing painfully from the ruins of a long past catastrophe, it is not just the Imperial ambitions of the Occassan nation that worries people; it is the all too real danger of the past rearing its vicious and mysterious head. What did happen all those centuries ago? What has it do with a thief? And why are the Occassans so interested in her skills?

Review
A first class adventure which moves with a pace and panache rarely seen these days. If you like good future fantasy youll love this. Reminiscent of M. J. Harrison or China Miéville at their fascinating best. I enjoyed Stealing Into Winter a lot. --Michael Moorcock

Stealing into winter is a great read. From the moment you pick it up you are automatically transported to the world of stealing into winter the characters come to life and become hooked into the story line.Cant wait for the next installment.

Brilliant storytelling with lots of action - the story starts with an explosion and the pace never drops. I quickly started to care about the main character, Jeniche - and read on late into the night because I wanted to know what was going to happen to her. Graeme has created an interesting character with a past and a future I want to know more about - and an interesting world that also has its mysteries.
I'm really looking forward to the next in the series -the final image in this book is still lingering in my mind.
Full disclosure - I know Graeme though OU courses, and I am happy to wholeheartedly recommend this book. I've loved fantasy for a long time and this is an excellent addition to the genre.

If you are looking for a new fantasy series to transport you to another place, Stealing into Winter is a great read. The language Talboys uses brings the vivid scenery and characters to life and the plot moves along at a steady pace, keeping you reading just one more chapter before you put the book down... and then another... There is plenty of scope for more adventures for Jeniche. The ending certainly implies this and I hope it isn't too long before the next one appears.
