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?
