In this sequel to The Secret of Castle Cant, Lucy and Pauline are on the run, Lucy trying to escape from Pauline's supporters, and Pauline trying to escape from Lucy's. The girls work together to protect each other from those fighting for control of the Barony. Though the plot is confusing, the story's surprising twists (including betrayal) keep it moving.
