Publisher's Synopsis
Ever since the Queen mysteriously disappeared and the King went mad five years ago,
eleven-year-old Princess Charlie has lived a wild and mostly unsupervised life in the
country of Quale-until now. With the discovery of an unfinished letter in the Queen's
handwriting, Charlie embarks on a quest to find her mother and save the kingdom
from a revolution. With Tobias, the gardener's boy, by her side, every step closer to the
Queen pulls Charlie deeper into an entangling web of lies and secrets-as twisted as
the dark castle-where nothing is as it seems.
