Drift & Dagger by Kendall Kulper

Mal used to have a home.  It might not have been the greatest home with everyone on Prince Island looking down on him for being a penniless orphan but it was still a place to call his own. 

Then his best friend Essie reveals that he is a blank -- a person unaffected by magic -- and he loses that home. 

Now he travels the world, hiding his secret to stay safe, while hunting for magical creatures to sell. 

Then he hears rumors of a knife that steals magic from those it cuts and Mal decides it will be the perfect revenge.



This is a book set in the same world at Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper.  This was an interesting take on a person in a magical world that has no magic.  It's also a great book about revenge.
