The first entry in the Westmark trilogy which is completed by "The Kestrel" and "The Beggar Queen". Set in the medieval-like kingdom of Westmark, this is the story King Augustine and Queen Caroline, who are so distraught over the disappearance of their daughter that they have allowed their kingdom to fall into the hands of their evil chief minister, Cabbarus. Cabbarus, desperate to keep the people unaware of his evil acts, has required government approval for any printed material to be published in the kingdom. When an idealistic young printer named Theo agrees to do a print job without getting prior permission, he begins a lifetime's adventures.
