  Becoming Nevery's servant and then his apprentice, Conn becomes embroiled in his master's plan to save Wellmet, a city whose magic is slowly dying.Intrepid Conn's search for his own locus magicalicus and his plight to save the magic takes him from the bowels of the city to the regal heights of the duchesses palace. He finds in Nevery a reluctant but well-meaning mentor and, in the burly manservant Benet, a friend like none he had on the streets (and a great deal of hot buttered biscuits). But can Conn keep the magic alive without falling into the clutches of the sinister Underlord, Crowe?

  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.
