Molly
is sent away at age seven to be a scullery maid for the King of Westria.
When she is sent away, her Mother gives her dearest possession, a necklace
that Molly wears secretly under her dress.
Molly has another secret, she sees visions and what’s more, her visions come true. Early on in her days at the Castle, Molly makes friends with a stable boy named Tobias. One day Tobias takes Molly into the royal family’s living area as he is setting the fires. Molly stares at the young Prince Alaric who tells the young scullery maid to mind her place. After a time, Molly is taught to polish the royal silver. A large, beautifully crafted silver bowl makes Molly very uneasy. When she polishes the silver bowl, Molly is transfixed by terrible visions! What does the future hold for Molly, Tobias and the Royal Family of Westria? The Silver Bowl is a tale of mystery and adventure set in the middle ages that will keep you turning the pages.
