Synopsis

He told stories, and he told even more lies. He told people what they wanted to hear, and told himself he was not doing anything wrong. He told the mysterious stranger from Shou Lung that he would help him, and he told the most dangerous man in Altumbel that he would deliver a fortune in gems. He should have kept his mouth shut. The fourth and last book of The Rogues, by Don Bassingthwaite. The Rogues was a series of stand-alone adventures about the people who survive on the fringes and in the shadows of the Forgotten Realms, each focused on the rogue character class and all set in the Old Empires, a region never before explored in the novels.
