It's 1872, and adventurous Vesper Holly and her guardian set out for the tiny country of Illyria, on a quest for its legendary treasure. But once Vesper and Brinnie arrive, they are plunged into a fierce struggle between rebel forces—and someone is out to kill the two of them! If anyone can triumph over those kind of odds, it's Vesper—one of Lloyd Alexander's most intrepid (and best-selling) heroines.
