"Myne and Lutz successfully complete their first batch of paper, so Benno takes them to the Merchant's Guild to register to sell it. There they encounter the guildmaster, who immediately plots to steal Myne (and her inventions) away from Benno. When his attempt fails, the guildmaster instead places an order for the same hairpins Myne made for Tuuli's baptism as a gift for his granddaughter, Freida. Myne decides to go meet the girl herself to get a better idea of how she wants them to look, but she's so much like her grandfather that Myne realizes she may have put herself in yet another perilous situation!"--Back cover.
