Necromancer's Anchor

Sixteen-year-old Denton is shocked when he’s blamed for a child’s death, and horrified by the blackmail that follows: If he doesn’t steal an ancient relic from the temple, his family will be executed by priests sworn to protect the holy anchor.

He’s never stolen anything, ever. Now what does he do?

Before he can decide, he’s saddled with Rosette and Emery, cousins he must entertain, but doesn’t dare confide in. Surely they can’t stumble into trouble when he takes them to see a ruined castle while he figures out how do deal with the threat.
