AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Pummel is a farm boy who has arrived in the city of Neuhalt seeking work. But things are different in the city—if you see ghosts or believe in magic, you are guilty of the crime of disloyalty. The devious Lord Rump and his granddaughter, Duckling, need a disposable boy, and Pummel fits the bill perfectly. Lord Rump's machinations take both children into the enchanted castle of Neuhalt and before long they are entwined in a plot to kill the heir to the Faithful Throne, the Young Margrave. If they want to protect the Young Margrave, and save themselves from an awful death, Duckling and Pummel must learn to use the magic that no one else believes in.'
