The second book in this highly acclaimed series, Lost continues the adventures of Conn, a young and intrepid street urchin turned wizard. Conn's quest to return the flow of magic to the city of Wellmet has become urgent—his locus stone is missing, and bands of ruthless Shadows roam the streets. Now he'll travel to the desert city of Desh to face the mysterious sorcerer king. "An uncommonly engaging young narrator kicks this debut fantasy ahead of the general run." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review of The Magic Thief
