4-6Magic Thief series.
Illustrated by
Antonio Javier Caparo.
When other wizards' locus magicalicus stones are stolen, wizard and former thief Conn comes under suspicion. His attempts to uncover the real thief and soothe the city's two warring magics reveal instead the return of his nemesis, exiled thief-lord Crowe. Letters, bits of runic code, spot-art illustrations, and amusing supplementary back matter fill out this vigorous addition to the series.
