The Shifter Shard

Three friends, one deadly mystery, and a thief they can't catch.

Young wielder Pratter agrees to travel to Carolan Faire to pick up an apprentice whose master died unexpectedly and bring him to the Chussen wielder school.

It seemed simple enough until he learned that wielders are being attacked, their powers of wielding the magic essence stolen from them. Before he can even get his first night's sleep in the dead master's house, someone enters through locked doors and attacks Jahl's friend Rouen.

By noon, no one is safe, and anyone could be the assailant.

Can Jahl identify the attacker in time to stop the next wielder from suffering a similar fate? Is his own high level of magic control going to make him a prime target?
