[The Chronicles of William Wilde 02] • William Wilde and the Stolen Life

**The riveting tale begun in _William Wilde and the Necrosed_ continues as

William finds himself beset on all sides by cruel foes and even crueler

friends.**

Having survived the monster, Kohl Obsidian, Wiliam Wilde had hoped his life

would settle down; that he'd finish his senior year of high school with no

further adventures.

But life isn't so simple for a potential magus, especially one who's overcome

as deadly an enemy as Kohl. Instead, William has unwittingly earned the raptor

gaze of even greater foes. One is someone he thought he could implicitly trust

while others are even more dangerous. And all are from the island of

Sinskrill. They are mahavans, powerful magic-users bent on humanity's

enslavement. They seek to capture William and chain him to their needs, to

bind him in perpetual servitude upon Sinskrill.

William finds himself caught amongst people for whom deceit and pain are

simple coins to be traded, and his best hope to survive these new challenges

might lie with someone he'd always thought to be his mortal enemy.
