That skill got him his foothold in House Jhereg, running the rackets for a chunk of urban Adrilankha. Later, things happened that left Vlad a changed man, on the run from the Jhereg and frequently involved in the affairs of Dragonlords, Empresses, and even Jenoine. Far more involved than the average human. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, in the very distant past, one of the gods fashioned an artifact--a silver figurine of a tiassa, a winged panther-like animal. To Devera the Wanderer, it's a pretty toy to play with. To Vlad, it's a handy prop for a con he's running. To the Empire, it's a tool to be used against the Jenoine. And to the Jhereg, it's a trap to kill Vlad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs it happens, however, the silver tiassa has its own agenda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTiassa\u003c\/i\u003e tells a story that threads its way through more than ten years of the remarkable life of Vlad Taltos--and, to the delight of longtime fans, brings him together with Khaavren, from \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Guards \u003c\/i\u003eand its sequels.
