"Aurelie is an overworked, under-appreciated apprentice at Basil's Bakery. She values the stability the job offers, so she keeps her head down and doesn't dare to dream big-- until a stranger walks in and hands her a set of Seeking stones. In a country where Seeking was old-fashioned even before magic went out of style, it is a rare skill, but Aurelie has it. The bounty hunter, Iliana, needs help rescuing someone from the dangerous Underwood. Now Aurelie is on a quest to rescue Prince Hapless, on a quest filled with magic portals, a troll older than the trees, dangerous palace intrigue-- and the feelings she is having for Hapless." -- Adapted from jacket.
