Instead, it sets off a chain reaction that results in the smashing of the press and the murder of his master. Caught on the wrong side of the law, Theo must flee the city.

The trio is soon joined by Mickle, a clever, strong-willed girl with a mysterious past.

Now they must not only save themselves-they must save the kingdom... (less)
