4-6Magic Thief series.
Illustrated by
Antonio Javier Caparo.
With his locus magicalicus destroyed in The Magic Thief, wizard-apprentice Conn can only summon magic through pyrotechnics. But after an explosion levels his home, Conn is exiled; not even discovering who's behind the shadowmen turning Wellmet's citizens to stone absolves him. The part-epistolary narrative features a plucky protagonist and a creative setting full of magic and secrets.
