The Cup and the Crown

Sent by King Alaric on a crucial mission, Molly is drawn to the secret walled city of Harrowsgode, protected from the world by mountains and magic. The mysteries she encounters there, and the powerful forces she must overcome, require every ounce of her cunning and courage. With the help of Tobias, a ratcatcher named Richard, and a clever and devoted raven, Molly gains her own freedom in a most unexpected way. And in the process, both Molly and the Kingdom of Harrowsgode are forever changed.
