About the Author
Sarah Prineas lives in the midst of the corn in rural Iowa and can usually be found writing fantasy novels on a stealthy silver MacBook Air called Dash. Prineas's Magic Thief series introduced readers to the irascible wizard Nevery and his gutterboy apprentice, Connwaer. Sarah holds a PhD in English literature and recently taught honors seminars on fantasy and science fiction literature at the University of Iowa. She has an amazing dragon action-figure collection and occasionally bakes biscuits (although she says hers never seem to turn out as tasty as Benet's do in The Magic Thief). She is also the author of Winterling, Summerkin, and Moonkind.
Sarah is married to John Prineas, a physics professor, which comes in handy when she's writing about magic. They are the parents of Maud and Theo.
Review
''In this thrilling sequel . . . Conn has a heart of gold but struggles with his past reputation as a thief and his reluctance to work with a partner holds him back. Like its predecessor, this story is interspersed with letters and journal entries . . . giving readers an intimacy with the characters. Eloquent and suspenseful, this follow-up doesn't disappoint.'' --Publishers Weekly
''An abundance of clues to the evil will intrigue and confuse readers as they try to solve the mystery along with the protagonist . . . Conn's relationship with Rowan continues to grow, providing both humor for the story and depth to both characters. A fun read for fans of fantastic adventures.'' --School Library Journal
''In this story, some of the action shifts to the desert city Desh, where shadowmen who may be responsible for terrorizing Wellmet reside. Compact yet exciting fare for younger fantasy fans.'' --Booklist
''Conn, equally gifted at picking locks and being a thorn in the side of all, remains a vivid, memorable lead.'' --Kirkus Reviews
''[A] fast-paced magical adventure . . . A great book for fantasy fans who are looking for a captivating tale of magic, danger, and intrigue.'' --Children's Literature
