{"product_id":"the-thin-executioner","title":"The Thin Executioner","description":"Set in a brutal, hierarchical world where executioners are both feared and revered, the story follows a young boy named Jebel Rum. Small, weak, and constantly belittled by his family, Jebel is determined to prove himself worthy of inheriting his father’s role as an executioner.\nTo earn honour and respect—and win the approval of the girl he loves—Jebel embarks on a dangerous quest to seek the power of a mysterious mountain god. Accompanied by a slave he initially treats poorly, he travels through hostile lands filled with deadly creatures, strange cultures, and moral challenges.\nAs the journey unfolds, Jebel is forced to confront his own arrogance, cruelty, and assumptions about strength and worth. What begins as a quest for power gradually becomes a path toward self-discovery, humility, and compassion.\nBlending dark fantasy with a coming-of-age arc, the novel explores themes of honour, prejudice, personal growth, and what it truly means to be strong.\nGood: Minor marks on the cover and some pages.","brand":"HarperCollinsChildrensBooks","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ 000130001","offer_id":48068182638743,"sku":"9780007315833-GD-000130001","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/16078233482190.jpg?v=1785061845","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-thin-executioner","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
