In this sequel to The Secret of Castle Cant, Lucy and Pauline are on the run, Lucy trying to escape from Pauline's supporters, and Pauline trying to escape from Lucy's. The girls work together to protect each other from those fighting for control of the Barony. Though the plot is confusing, the story's surprising twists (including betrayal) keep it moving.

The Secret of Castle Cant: Being an Account of the Remarkable Adventures of Lucy Wickwright, Maidservant and Spy

David Christiana.
Set in a country hidden by mountains, this story follows Lucy, the young servant of Cant's next ruler, and the mystery surrounding Lucy's birth and the murder of her family. The entertaining yarn's lack of focus results in a confusing plot but is mitigated by Lucy's steadfast support for Pauline, her mistress. Further adventures of these two are sure to follow.
