Synopsis
Conn's quest to save his city's magic has become urgent: his power stone is lost and Shadowmen, ruthless assassins, are stalking the city's people. But when Conn blows up Wizard Nevery's beloved home, he is banished by his own master. Determined to return and save Wellmet, he travels to Desh, a glittering city in the desert, home to the Shadowmen and run by a mysterious Sorcerer-King...Prineas steps up the mystery and magic with an exciting new setting and chilling villains.
Review
This is the second book about Conwater the pickpocket thief, and the old wizard Nevery Flinglas.
At the beginning of each chapter there is a picture of the central character in the chapter - a lovely idea. Another page turning story in which Conwater is on a mission to find out why Willmet, their town is losing magic.
Plenty of ghostly happenings, magic and fighting. A good plot but the end really surprised me, but the story races along and in fact I read the whole book in nearly one go.
Well written and a joy to read - and if this book had been a pudding, I would have called it - Magical Delight!
