The Demon of Histlewick Downs by Douglas J. Bornemann

When Thoren’s parents are unjustly seized for practicing magic, he’s at his wit’s end – until a girl beckons him to follow her to an abandoned inn. Her misfit band of outcasts offer him a remote chance at survival. Then, a chance meeting offers a possibility of rescuing his parents, but that path is fraught with danger – a single misstep, and he could instead share their grim fate. Will his wits and his snarky talking watch be up to the challenge?
