Introduction
In a fractured Realm, struggling to maintain an uneasy peace after years of civil war and religious tyranny, a twelve-year-old orphan and a homicidal goose become the accidental heroes of a revolution
Mosca has spent her life in a miserable hamlet, where her father was banished for writing inflammatory books about tolerance and freedom.
