Something in the Water by Sandy Stuckless

Left an orphan and desolate, Jenna will stop at nothing to find out why her mother was murdered. Taking shelter with a group of thieves, she must use all talents and courage to stay alive in a city that is being torn apart by a monstrous conspiracy that is killing hundreds. One of fellow thieves, Shadow, can either help her in her quest or betray what little trust she has in him. But who is he working for?

In a city that surrounds the Fountain of Youth, this is an exciting tale of danger, betrayal, murder, and loss. With well-rounded characters that have you cheering for their wins and cursing for their enemies, this fantasy adventure is reminiscent of Raymond E. Feist.

Highly recommended for those who love fast-paced, desperate tales of bravery and sacrifice.
