Publisher's Synopsis
They're lazy. They're unskilled. And now the fate of the Kingdom is in their hands. Tam, Kern, and Merrik are all failing at life: a homeless thief, a disgraced baker's apprentice, and an incompetent smith. But witnessing a strange ritual in the middle of the night sets them on a collision course with destiny-and with each other. Accused of crimes they did not commit, the boys must band together to clear their names. And in the process, they just might have to do something useful.
