Yes, 14 was the youngest legally for ages I think - that's why I picked that number, but I haven't checked my resources to confirm it just yet (adds to must-do list).
The attempt on the character's life is to fail, not succeed. You've given me a few flickers of an idea - any other strategies for how a baddie would try this and fail?

That's how I saw him at first: as a fall of light.
Then he walked out of the light.
He didn't seem real to me, just something I dreamed on a hot summer day, as I swallowed water scented with roses and stone.
I saw him before he had any name at all. Patricia McKillip, Winter Rose
