However, all is not lost: Lee plans to repurpose this manuscript as the basis for an original fantasy series in the future. After several fruitful conversations with the original game developers, the Thief property was rebooted to middling effect in 2014, stifling much interest in licensed stories like this one. It follows the master thief Garrett as he plies his trade in the shadows of The City, an industrial metropolis where magic and machinery have struck an uneasy truce, and ancient gods battle over men's souls. Thief began life as a creative writing project at Yale, and grew to become Lee's first completed manuscript. Below is an excerpt from the novel Thief: The Dark Project, the first in a planned trilogy, based on the eponymous video game series by Looking Glass Studios.
