Miserable, bullied orphan Girl gets by on her quick wits at the Convent of the White Wolf. When the Wolf King attacks the convent, Girl discovers that what she has been taught was a lie. Renaming herself Quicksilver, Girl sets out with an ancient witch, leaving the world she knows behind. Snappy dialogue and creative fantasy elements will delight seasoned fantasy readers.
