author of The Magicians TrilogyFrom the award-winning and<br />
bestselling author of Feed comes a raucous, slyly funny, and<br />
delightfully queer work of historical fantasy, based on a bizarre but<br />
true quest to steal the mystical corpse of a long-dead saintThe year<br />
is 1087, and a pox is sweeping through the Italian city of Bari. When<br />
a lowly monk is visited by Saint Nicholas in his dreams, he interprets<br />
the vision as a call to serve the sick. But his superiors, and the<br />
power brokers they serve, have different plans for the tenderhearted<br />
Brother Nicephorus.Enter Tyun, a charismatic treasure<br />
hunter renowned for “lierating”holy relics from their<br />
tombs. The seven-hundred-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas are<br />
rumored to weep a mysterious liquid that can heal the sick, Tyun<br />
says. For the humble price of a small fortune, he will steal the bones<br />
and deliver them to Bari, curing the plague and restoring glory to<br />
the fallen city. And Nicephorus, the “dramer,”will be<br />
his guide.What follows is a heist for the ages, as Nicephorus is swept<br />
away on strange tides, and alongside even stranger bedfellows, to<br />
commit sacrilegious theft. Based on real historical accounts, <strong>Nicked</strong><br />
is a swashbuckling saga, a medieval novel noir, a meditation on the<br />
miraculous, and a monastic meet-cute, filled with wide-eyed wonder<br />
at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.
