The Redwood Palace

Written by M.K. Hutchins
 
Plum longs to be a great chef, not a palace dishwasher.

Plum was all set to increase her magical cooking skills, but that was before her little sister dressed up as a boy and joined the army, a crime punishable by death. To protect her family, Plum assumes her sister's identity and reports for her duties scrubbing dishes at the palace.

But lying for Dami leaves Plum tangled up in royal intrigue and nefarious plots. Palaces are difficult to navigate--and that's doubly true when you have a secret to keep.
