Description :<br />

&quotAn]uproarious saga . . . drawing on contemporary accounts,


fantastical folk tales, and [Anderson's] own knack for high<br />

jinks.&quot#8212New York Times Book Review&quotA] rollicking<br />

comic novel.&quot#8212NPR&quotM T. Anderson is one of our<br />

greatest and most precious voices.&quot#8212Lev Grossman,<br />

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 &#8220lierating&#8221holy 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 &#8220dramer,&#8221will 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.
