But should she lose her way, Beatryce knows that those who love her – a wild-eyed monk, a man who had once been king, a boy with a terrible sword and a goat with a head as hard as stone – will never give up searching for her. And so it is that a girl with a head full of stories must venture into a dark wood in search of the castle of a king who wishes her dead. As the monk nurses Beatryce to health, he uncovers her dangerous secret – one that imperils them all.
