A scrappy maid must outsmart both palace nobles and Low Gods in a new YA fantasy by Margaret Owen, author of the Merciful Crow series.

A lush and lively adventure replete with romance, revenge, and robbery * Kirkus, starred review *
Owen flips the tale of the Goose Girl on its head for a breathlessly inventive, never-a-dull-moment adventure of found family and second (or fourth or fifth) chances. If you're not careful, it'll steal your heart, too * Booklist, Starred Review *
Masterpiece of storytelling... This is YA fantasy at its very best * Armadillo Magazine *
