Anne is the only female artisan at the Radcliffe Workshop, but the cold stares aimed in her direction don’t keep her from jumping in to help with the hard, physical work. Then, Elliott, a silver sugar master, and his fiancée, Bridget, arrive.

Seeing Kieth’s sugar confection has made Anne anxious about the theme for her piece. Suddenly, she remembers Kieth mentioning that the royal family favors fairy themed sugar confections, so she heads to the church on her day off to try and discover why.
