Cordelia is a young naive girl that lives in a house where there are no secrets and she is not encouraged to have friends. Her mother controls every aspect of her life and her body at times. Hester is the older unmarried sister of a squire that Cordelia’s mother has come to ensnare in her marriage trap and also try to use Cordelia as a trap for another rich man. Can Hester use her wits to outwit Cordelia’s sorcerous mother? Another great story by Kingfisher that has its bones set in fairy tales but is still its own story.
