The Stealing from Wizards series by R.A. Consell is so good that I'm sharing another excerpt. This time it's from the third book, Kidnapping, which was released on November 1, 2023.

The books tell the story of a young boy named Kuro. He has been raised in squalor and neglect by a rather wicked wizard who has groomed him to be a thief. Early on in the first book, his fate turns towards more hopeful happenings and he is sent to a school for magical children. His story continues with him discovering true friendship as well as crafting a chosen family.

In this third book we're getting closer to discovering the truth about Kuro's true heritage and in the reading I share today we witness Kuro meeting three magical weavers who connect deeply with him and create a tartan to represent his homelands.

Accompanying contemplative prompts for this book can be found at my website.

Stealing From Wizards: Volume 3: Kidnapping is written by R.A. Consell and is self-published by the author, Ryan Consell (November 2023).

The other self-published books from the Stealing From Wizards series are Volume 1: Pickpocketing (October 2019) and Volume 2: Burglary (June 2021).

I hope Ryan continues to write either in this series or another. I'll read them.
