The Thief is a young adult fantasy novel taking place in a setting that is a great deal like Greece. (The technology level is pre-Industrial, sword and gunpowder.) This is a “low magic” setting; the one character identified as a “magus” is actually a scholar. What magic there is comes in the form of extremely subtle miracles and interaction with the gods. (The author does a really great job of having the gods seem distant and a little alien/beyond human comprehension, but not necessarily “remote.”)
