The Thieftaker Chronicles follows Ethan Kaille, a conjurer working as a thieftaker in colonial Boston. Written under the pen name D.B. Jackson, the series begins with A Spell of Vengeance (2012) and the full-length novel Thieftaker (2012). Kaille takes on cases involving stolen goods and murder, using his magical abilities in a city where conjuring is feared and persecuted.
The series blends real history with fantasy. Events like the Stamp Act protests and the Boston Massacre serve as backdrops to Kaille’s investigations, and historical figures appear alongside fictional characters. The main novels, Thieftaker, Thieves’ Quarry (2013), A Plunder of Souls (2014), and Dead Man’s Reach (2015), are supplemented by several shorter works including Tales of the Thieftaker (2017) and later novellas published in 2021.
