Synopsis

When the Ugsome traitors take over the kingdom of Wisland, the orphan, Wynnfrith must flee the court with Oliver, the five-year-old crown prince. Their flight becomes a treacherous journey that pits Wynnfrith against the cruel, grotesque Ugsome family. Wynnfrith believes herself to be fearful yet her resolve to keep Prince Oliver safe gives her the courage to face her trials.

To win against her enemies, Wynnfrith is aided by both the love and secret incantations of Mistress Plummety Peache. But perhaps above all, it is the presence of the magical Word Dancer who inspires her to use not just her head, but also her heart to ignite the full power of words. Can Wynnfrith find within herself the way to unleash this power? If she can, she will not only realize her true bravery; she might crush the enemies of Wisland.
