Pickpick

For anyone who have never read Mercedes Lackey, I recommend starting here! The book is set in an alternate history in which the Library of Alexandria was never burned and so the world never lost magic. In 16th century Venice, sweet, good natured Marco, and his younger brother, the clever street thief Benito, must pick sides when their city is threatened by black magic and treason. One of my favorites!
