Warlocks before their time . . .

Fourteen-year-old Augum and friends Bridget and Leera dream of becoming warlocks. But with a kingdom in chaos, it will take courage and sacrifice to make that dream come true.

A vicious tyrant has overthrown the king in a quest for seven mythic artifacts-and Augum's mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, possesses one. Forced to take shelter in a mysterious and ancient castle, the aspiring warlocks must learn the arcane arts before the tyrant finds them.

But not everything is as it seems, and when a sudden betrayal plunges the trio into the ordeal of their lives, survival will hinge on their aptitude in the arcane arts . . . and on friendships forged in fire.

An enduring bestseller, Arcane is the first book in an epic coming-of-age fantasy saga beloved by fans the world over.
