Description
A former pickpocket, fourteen-year-old Weasel is the type of boy most people would never trust- except for one man. Justice Holis took Weasel off the streets and gave him a home, a job as his clerk, and a key to his house.
Now Justice Holis is the one in trouble. Arrested for treason, he will surely hang unless someone saves him-and that someone can only be Weasel.
So with a mysterious girl named Arisa by his side, Weasel goes in search of the Falcon, the most dangerous bandit in Deorthas, but also the one person who would be able and possibly willing to stage a prison break.
But Weasel's fate changes when he stumbles upon a shield. Could this be the one said to have been lost for centuries, the one that bestows power on whoever holds it? If so, Weasel, once a lowly pickpocket, could be the most powerful person in the land.
