The magus reveals that the object he wants Gen to steal is a precious stone called Hamiathes's Gift in the country of Attolia. The travelers are strained by personal conflict, as well as the dangers present due to the political and secret nature of their mission. They are joined by the magus's two apprentices, Sophos and Ambiades, and by a soldier, Pol.
Without telling Gen where they are going, he takes him out of the city. The magus, whose name is not revealed, finds Gen to be filthy, uncouth, and insolent, but he values Gen's skills as a thief. Gen had been imprisoned for stealing the King's seal. The main character, a boy named Gen (short for Eugenides), is released from prison by the magus of the King of Sounis.
