A dying friend, a terrible bargain, an underwater quest, and dangerous
magic . . . the adventure continues in this sequel to CHILDREN OF THE
FOX. Fans of twisty, clever stories like The False Prince and Ocean's
Eleven will love this newest series from Kevin Sands, author of the
bestselling Blackthorn Key.
Rule number one: Never mess with magic. Even so, a life-or-death
situation calls for Callan and his criminal friends to make a deal with
the Eye--the sinister, sentient artifact they stole from a sorcerer.
It's Lachlan's life in exchange for a future task, and the gang has no
choice but to agree.
But even as Lachlan is resurrected, it's not without cost. Through the
Eye, Callan can see a tiny purple stain inside Lachlan's soul, which
will eventually consume him. The cure--and their part of the deal--lies
with the Dragon's Teeth, a pair of swords with extraordinary powers, and
the search for them leads the thieves on a quest that will unravel the
mystery of the Eye. Old friends, new betrayals, and an even more daring
break-in than the last culminate in a confrontation that will take all
the gang's skill and power to resist--or they'll die trying.
