YA
When her father is imprisoned, fourteen-year-old Lizbet does what any good medieval Christian daughter would do: vows to free him. But in her travels with brown-skinned Strix, a witch who makes things out of broken bits, Lizbet finds herself taking and embodying more liberties than she ever thought possible. Set in an alternate Holy Roman Empire, this is a bewitching old-world fairy tale comprised of picaresque episodic encounters.
