Apprentice S Luck

From EPPIE Award winner Kathryn Sullivan come stories of magic and off-world adventure sure to appeal to readers of all ages. Here are tales of wizards training apprentices and interstellar operatives protecting “primitive” worlds. How does one university cope with a student from very far away, and where do some wizards get their supplies? And what’s the deal with the cat whiskers? The Zumaya Thresholds edition includes new stories and old favorites, all certain to keep pages turning and imaginations stirred.

Apprentice magician Talisman Morning has always been lucky. It's a problem. Talis knows his luck is a magical talent -- but he can't control it. And good luck for him can mean bad luck for other people, and a lot of trouble. He's beginning to wonder whether he belongs with the magicians at all, or whether he should give up and run away ... until he meets a royal guard who asks for his help. King's guard Jeryn de Machaut could use a magician. He thinks he's overheard a plot against the king, but he has no evidence and no support. But a wayward apprentice with a knack for being in the right place -- and stumbling over hidden objects -- might be exactly the luck Jer needs. Together, Jer and Talis will uncover a palace conspiracy, save a king, and find their own best chance at love.
