The king wants to send Ven to the Gated City, a.k.a., the City of Thieves. But first he fires him as the Royal Reporter because he can't be responsible for anything that happens to him there. He wants Ven to discover the secret of a glowing stone that glows a bright gold whenever it gets close to the king. Ven agrees and Char, Ida, Clemency, and Saeli go with him. When they go inside, a fortuneteller tells Ven that someone is watching him from afar by using the albatross. Ven also got the Time Scissors from the fortuneteller, which allows him to undo a part of history but can come with consequences. They also met a weapon salesman who gave them a glove that has all sorts of contraptions in it. While they were looking for someone who can tell them about the glowing stone, Saeli got stolen! They went to the Raven's Nest where the Thief Queen resides to look for her. She wasn't there, but it turns out that Ida is her daughter! She was able to find Saeli and escape before the Thief Queen married her to someone from the north. They met some people from underground called Downworlders. They said that the stone was called the Lightstone and it was actually a map to lead the king there as an invitation. They said that it glowed brighter for the king to show their loyalty to him since one of his forefathers was kind to them. Then they told the children how to get out of the underground so they could go home. The king then asked Ven to go see why a dragon was burning the countryside and the book ended there.
The next book is called The Dragon's Lair. I'm gong to read it soon.
The word I chose is intervene. Intervene means to interfere or inturrupt. ex: He intervened in their argument.
