A beautifully crafted epic adventure spiced with magic from the
acclaimed author of Hour of the Bees. Fished from the river as an
infant and raised by a roving band of street urchins who call
themselves the Crowns, eight-year-old Duck keeps her head down and
her mouth shut. It's a rollicking life, always thieving, always on
the run - until the ragtag Crowns infiltrate an abandoned cathedral
in the city of Odierne and decide to put down roots. It's all part
of the bold new plan hatched by the Crowns' fearless leader, Gnat,
to ensure the Crowns always have a steady supply of food and money.
But no sooner is Duck apprenticed to the kindly local baker than
her allegiances start to blur. Who is she really: a Crown or an
apprentice baker? And who does she want to be? Meanwhile, high
above the streets of Odierne, on the roof of the unfinished
cathedral, an old and ugly gargoyle grows weary of waiting to
fulfil his own destiny to watch and protect. Told in alternating
viewpoints, this exquisite novel evokes a timeless tale of love,
self-discovery, and what it means to be rescued.
