This third Magic Thief fantasy by E.B. White Honor Book author Sarah Prineas continues the adventures of the irascible wizard Nevery and his gutterboy apprentice Conn. Escaping prison isn't easy—except for a thief or a wizard like Conn. Yet once he's free, where can he go? His home is a pile of rubble. He's been banished from Wellmet. And he's displeased his wizard master. As danger creeps closer, is Conn brave enough to answer magic's call? "An uncommonly engaging young narrator kicks this...fantasy ahead of the general run." –Kirkus Reviews, starred review of The Magic Thief
