Margie Benedict

“Excellent!” -Kirkus Reviews

When a dangerous conjurer has her father killed, locksmith’s apprentice Tessa and her companions embark on a perilous quest to bring him back to life…

"For those who enjoyed Harry Potter but who seek a feisty, determined female protagonist." -Midwest Book Review

Tessa, who blames herself for actions that led to her father’s murder, must race against time to steal the conjurer’s most treasured magical artifact—the Dreadmarrow—to restore Papa’s life.

“Stellar!” -SPR Book Awards

While helping Tessa, her companions conceal their own secret motivations for infiltrating the conjurer’s castle. Ash hopes to avenge his brother’s death at the hands of Fellstone’s apprentice, and Calder seeks his long-lost love who has mysteriously disappeared since she became the conjurer’s wife.

“A gripping fantasy adventure, highly recommended.” -Wishing Shelf Book Awards 

Tessa can shapeshift into a sparrow using a magical amulet, Ash wields a sword like no other, and Calder carries a bag of tricks that provide defense against a variety of prickly situations.

"A work of classic fantasy." -The BookLife Prize

But are their combined skills any match for the creatures of the Cursed Wood, the boarmen, the wraiths, and the fiendish conjurer's own insurmountable magic?

Margie Benedict's "prose is crisp and purposeful, charged with feeling, and always attuned to what will engage readers in each moment." (The BookLife Prize)

The Thieves of Magic Trilogy

Dreadmarrow

“Grounded, likable characters with complex emotions anchor this excellent series installment.” -Kirkus Reviews

Tessa (the shapeshifter), Ash (the swordsman), and Calder (the trickster) reunite for a potentially deadly new adventure in Book Two of the award-winning Thieves of Magic series that began with Dreadmarrow and ends with Kingshackle.

“Full-bodied, engrossing, and hard to put down." -Midwest Book Review

Desperate to cure her mother of the delusion that she’s a bird, Tessa appeals to the conjurer lord in neighboring Blackgrove. Everything goes wrong, however, when he takes Calder hostage and refuses to help until Tessa and Ash bring him the Gravenwood. They set out to steal this magical tablet while romance blossoms between them.

“(Benedict) plots shrewdly, nesting quests within quests and mysteries within mysteries, keeping the story exciting while still finding time to lay bare the hearts of her heroes. She's especially good at setting up puzzles whose solutions, once sprung on the readers, prove delightful.” -The BookLife Prize

But none of them may survive the treachery of the rising despot — unless Tessa can conquer her inner doubts and unlock the secret to becoming a true conjurer.

“A strongly-plotted fantasy adventure packed full of charismatic characters. A finalist and highly recommended to young adults.” -The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Gravenwood

“An exciting, inventive finale.” -Kirkus Reviews

Quarterfinalist for the 2020 BookLife Prize run by Publishers Weekly

Ash is missing and must be found. Confounding the matter, the Conjurer King Slayert launches an attack against the remaining free cities. Saving the world falls to our three heroes, who reunite to steal Slayert’s own crown, called the Kingshackle—a magical artifact that makes him invincible.

"A powerful and fitting conclusion to the series... Very highly recommended." -Midwest Book Review

But their success depends on Tessa winning the King’s Challenge, the ultimate test of her intelligence, valor, and heart.

"(Benedict's) masterful pacing makes her novel a quick read. The story takes readers through a bevy of betrayals, startling deaths, and exhilarating action…” -Kirkus Reviews
