The Demon King

by Cinda Williams Chima

Han Alister used to be a thief. And why not? How else is he supposed to provide for his mother and sister and still attend school? But, when he finds an amulet that may contain powerful magic, Han's life turns from bad to worse. Now he's on the run, not only from his town's gangsters, but also from the king's wizards. Han discovers a huge secret about himself that his friends have been keeping from him. This secret could either lead to his death or help him save himself.
