Lost by Sarah Prineas

A young thief-turned-wizard’s apprentice is exiled after his risky attempts to contact a dwindling source of magic are mistaken for sabotage. Determined to save his home, he undertakes a perilous journey to a desert kingdom to seek a new conduit of power and uncover why the magic is failing, all while outwitting rival mages and political schemers. Along the way, he learns to listen to the living force of magic and must decide how far he’ll go to bring it back.
