The Secret of Castle Cant
In The Secret of Castle Cant, Lucy Wickwright is the hardworking maidservant (and reluctant sidekick) to Pauline von Cant, the Baron’s daughter. Lucy does what she’s told, never lies, and always takes the blame for her mistress’s whims. Big mistake! The twelve-toed orphan steps into a world of trouble when she becomes an unwitting ally of the Chewing Gum Rebellion, which threatens the foundations of the Barony. When Lucy discovers the secret at the heart of the uprising, she faces a terrible choice. Will she help a handsome rebel, or protect the one she loves?

Escape from Castle Cant
Lucy and Pauline’s adventures continue in Escape from Castle Cant. The rebels have taken the castle, war grips the Barony, and Pauline must adjust to life as a fugitive (and her ill-fitting boots!). The Barony is full of bounty hunters, and Vlad Orloff — that conniving and villainous gum peddler — lurks close on their heels. With the help of allies from the castle and new friends met on their road, the girls must find a way to the Outlands to fight the gum trade that claimed Lord Cant’s life.
