A master of subterfuge, a rogue thief with a noble air, Seregil of Rhiminee has taught his young protégé, Alec of Kerry, his greatest secrets of the trade. Together they've made their way with thieving jobs large and small, winning friends and enemies, their lives in constant danger and yet charmed by an aura of magic, friendship and trust.

And as Alec learns the shocking truth of his own shadowed heritage, he, Seregil and a handful of loyal companions are catapulted into a tumultuous conflict with the ultimate evil - in which magic alone may no longer shield them from harm...
