Product Description
In a city that runs on a dwindling supply of magic, a young boy is drawn into a life of wizardry and adventure. Conn should have dropped dead the day he picked Nevery's pocket and touched the wizard's locus magicalicus, a stone used to focus magic and work spells. But for some reason he did not. Nevery decides to take Conn as his apprentice on the provision that the boy find a locus stone of his own. But Conn has little time to search for his stone between wizard lessons and helping Nevery discover who-or what-is stealing the city of Wellmet's magic. Meanwhile Conn is hiding his own secret - his connection to the sinister Underlord, Crowe ...The first in a compelling, beautifully written trilogy, with wonderful characters you'll want to read more and more about.
From the Inside Flap
Never steal from a wizard!
Connwaer is a thief of the Twilight, a desolate part of the city of Wellmet, built up of factories and shadowy streets and teeming with pickpockets. On the run from the city's Underlord, Conn steals a banished wizard's locus stone.
The wizard, Nevery, takes Conn on as his apprentice, and the boy becomes embroiled in his master's plan to save the city, whose magic is slowly dying. Meanwhile, Nevery is secretly beginning to question Conn's past: Why did the thief survive in the Twilight for so long and why is he immune to illness and injury? But Conn is hiding a much darker secret...
The first book in a thrilling trilogy.
