The Runesmith Series

RUNEFOOL
Runefool is a young adult fantasy, the first of a five book series about thirteen-year-old Rafe and her troubled brother Llewelyn as they struggle to survive after their mother, a rune locksmith, goes out to a job one night and never returns.  With their father long gone and their mother presumed dead, they are left to eke out a hand to mouth existence using Llewelyn’s small ability as a runefool, stealing death passage coins from an ancient crypt.

But when a runelock they are attempting to open goes badly, unleashing a vicious bakslag at the touch of the wrong key, they are set on a new path that leads Rafe to question what exactly happened the night their mother disappeared.  With the help of three untrained gatecrashers desperate to learn runes, Rafe and Llewelyn forge into a crime underworld where rune workers can be bought and sold, their powers harnessed and controlled, and their lives drained away.
