This is a breath-taking adventure story, set in reimagined eighteenth-century England.

As the realm struggles to maintain an uneasy peace after years of cival war and tyranny, a twelve-year-old orphan and her loyal companion, a grumpy goose, are about to become the unlikely heroes of a radical revolution.

Mosca Mye has spent her childhood in a miserable hamlet, after her father was banished there for writing inflammatory books about freedom.

Now he is dead and Mosca is on the run, heading for the city of Mandelion.

There she finds herself living by her wits among cut-throat highwaymen, spies and smugglers.

With peril at every turn, Mosca uncovers a dark plot to terrorize the people of Mandelion, and soon merry mayhem leads to murder ...With an unforgettable cast of characters and an inspiring message at its heart - sometimes the power of words can change the world!
