Spying on the high lord of Raineach accomplishes nothing more than giving Connor a chance to flee for his life. Again.
He needs patronage or his curse might destroy him. Pledging to the wrong noble hurts more. Execution and martyrdom proved that.
With Aunt Ailsa's help, Connor will find a way. Even if the path leads into the heart of greatest danger.
A Stone's Throw launches Connor into his next adventure with crazier problems, zanier humor, and deeper aspects of the unique magic system. As danger grows, intrigue intensifies, and the need for patronage drives him in secret into the heart of the school of the Petralists, his one hope for salvation might seal the fate of everyone he loves.
