Fearful of Selia and her guards who still want her dead, Ani [[RichesToRags disguises herself as a city worker]] who tends to the geese as she plots a way to convince the king of her true identity. Three sequels feature the friends Ani meets among the city workers.

Enna only wanted to burn one time, but then she was forced to, and it turned into a slippery slope where she ''had'' to burn things.
