Readers who love the adventure in Megan Whalen Turner's Newbery Honor novel The Thief will be captivated by Molly's dangerous magical quest in this thrilling sequel to Diane Stanley's novel The Silver Bowl.
Night after night, Molly has visions of a beautiful goblet: one of her grandfather's loving cups, which he filled with magic that bound people together. So it hardly surprises Molly when handsome King Alaric asks her to find a loving cup to help him win the heart of the beautiful Princess of Cortova.
As Molly and her friends Winifred and Tobias journey in search of a loving cup, a mysterious raven joins their quest and appears to guide them all the way to the hidden city of Harrowsgode. There, Molly discovers secrets about her own family as well as the magic of the loving cup. But Harrowsgode is hidden for a reason, and leaving is more difficult than Molly imagined. Will she be able to escape, let alone bring a loving cup to King Alaric?
- A Reluctant Heroine: Molly never asked for visions or magical powers. But when handsome King Alaric needs her help, she must rise to the challenge and leave her old life far behind.
- A Magical Quest: To find the legendary loving cup, Molly and her friends must journey into the unknown, trusting a mysterious raven to guide them to a city no one has seen for centuries.
- Hidden Heritage: In the secret city of Harrowsgode, Molly uncovers the truth about her grandfather, a master silversmith whose legacy is more powerful-and more dangerous-than she ever imagined.
- Found Family: Joined by her loyal friends Winifred and Tobias, Molly faces down dangers that will test their bonds and prove that the strongest magic of all is friendship.
