In een vervallen stad, die wel wat wegheeft van het Londen ten tijde van Dickens, leidt de jonge Conn een armoedig bestaan. Op een regenachtige avond rolt hij de zakken van tovenaar Nevery. Zijn buit is een locus magicalicus, een steen met magische krachten die alleen door zijn wettige eigenaar beroerd kan worden. Verrassend genoeg blijft Conn in leven en dat intrigeert Nevery dusdanig dat hij Conn aanneemt als zijn leerling. Voorwaarde is wel dat Conn zijn eigen locus vindt. Conn is ervan overtuigd dat hem dat zal lukken, als hij tenminste uit de problemen weet te blijven...
