One day, while she's working in the king's great hall, young Prince Alaric passes by. Molly finds him unbearably handsome?but also unbearably rude. But what does it really matter? She'll probably never see him again.
In time Molly is promoted to polishing silver and is given a priceless royal treasure to work on: the king's great ceremonial hand basin. But there's something odd about it.
