Book One of the Stolen Trilogy introduces the reader to a set of unforgettable characters: Rioletta Eris, a young sorcerer with a traumatic past, Cardon, an errant friend who is tiptoeing along the edge of a dangerous precipice, the kidnapped and missing Council of Tabor, Justah, a little girl who may be more than she seems, and the mysterious changeling known as Stolen. When Rioletta is about to join the Council of Sorcerers, she is set an unusual task: solve the mystery of her childhood abduction. She’s forced to face facts that don’t fit with her strict traditional upbringing: animated leaves that seem to be stalking her, a creepy changeling made of twigs, and a best friend who turns out to have practiced the Forbidden Skills. When a coup in a nearby village leaves an entire Council missing, Rioletta and her forbidden knowledge may be the only key to their rescue. For a century, the Councils have relied on the mysterious and strict Charter of Dispersal to save them from the disaster that ruined their cities. Have they been on the wrong path all along?

If somebody doesn't free the minds trapped in the Crypt of Souls soon, Cardon's going to go crazy. If someone does free them, the Ruined City may be in danger... What really happened to the Younger Council of Tabor? Hyphanden of the Outcast Council tells the Andolith Sorcerers a disturbing four of the minds of the Younger Council are trapped in an ancient vault called the Crypt of Souls. They will have to work together to rescue them; but somebody else is interested in the minds stored in the vault! Can the Traditional Sorcerers trust the Outcasts enough to accomplish their mission - or will betrayal ruin their efforts in the end?
