Acerca del libro
"What if you woke up one morning to learn your father had bet you in a game of dice...and lost?
On her 14th birthday, apprentice herbalist Isabel Sutton learns that she now belongs to the town's sheriff—a man whose last wife died in sinister circumstances. Desperate to escape marriage to a smelly old man, Isabel disguises herself and runs away. But the sheriff's men are hot on her trail, offering a bag of gold coins as a reward for her capture.
On the road, she meets other travelers: a mysterious man of unusually small size, a boy who tells fantastical tales, even a dancing bear. Soon, she finds work with a traveling theater troupe. Can she learn to act well enough to fool not only the sheriff's men but also her new friends, each one hungry for gold? "
