"The Magic Thief" by Antonio Javier Caparo follows the adventures of a young boy named Conn, who is a pickpocket in a city where magic is real but rare. When he steals a magical stone from a wizard, he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a world filled with sorcery, danger, and intrigue. As Conn learns about the intricate balance of magic and the power it holds, he must navigate the treacherous politics of wizards and save the city from impending doom. With themes of friendship, bravery, and self-discovery, Conn's journey takes him from a life of crime to one of purpose and magic. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
