Weasel fumbled the cloth aside. It was a shield, steel
plate over dark wood, with rotting leather straps. It
looked old, and battered, and real. A former
pickpocket, Weasel is the type of boy most people would
avoid. Certainly, no one would ever trust him -- except
for one man. Justice Holis took Weasel off the streets,
gave him a home, a job as his clerk, and a key to his
house. Weasel's new life may be a bit boring, but for the
first time someone actually cares about him. 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. But what can one boy do? Not
much without help. 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. With extraordinary craftsmanship, Hilari Bell
weaves a fantasy adventure story that will have readers
captivated from the first word to the last.
