The Raven Heir - Stephanie Burgis
“She couldn’t stay a moment longer. Not in that room, and not in this big stone trap, either. Turning cat, she fled across the courtyard, through the archway that led to the kitchen gardens. They lay empty of people and interferences and rules, richly scented with growing herbs in the cool, violet air of twilight.”
