Synopsis: Welcome to the faraway Barony of Cant... a land out of time, and so small that it is destined to be forever lost in the creases of even the best of maps. Young Lucy Wickwright - an obedient maidservant who is perhaps a bit too good at her job - tends to the Baron of Cant's mischievous daughter, The Adored & Honorable Pauline Esmerelda Simone-Thierry von Cant. Lucy's eagerness to please her charge, as well as her elders, unwittingly leads her to become a key player in a mysterious rebellion that is brewing not only throughout the Barony but within the castle grounds. Soon, she finds herself not only a spy, but also risking her life for a cause that is pitted against her own mistress. When Lucy discovers that she - an orphan! - is actually the true heir of Cant and at the heart of the revolution itself, she must choose between foiling the rebellion, which supports her right to the throne, or betraying her own flesh and blood. With remarkable wit and a flair for the fantastic, debut novelist K. P. Bath captivates readers with fast-paced action and adventure, a cast of unforgettable, eccentric characters, and two strong female heroines who learn that cunning and heroism are not merely words in storybooks.
