The tale follows the exploits of Falco, a young man from the country, who arrives in the port city of Tardocco with the ambition of becoming an apprentice to a master shadow thief. Maestro Astolfo, whose mysterious powers of observation would rival those of Sherlock Holmes, sees Falco's potential and puts him through a grueling series of physical lessons and intellectual tests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFalco's adventures coalesce into one overarching story of con men, monsters, ingenious detection, pirates, and the King of Cats.
