The Golden Goblet

3.5 out of 5 stars
Ranofer’s only dream is to become a goldsmith like his father was before his death. But Ranofer’s half-brother, Gebu, beats and starves him, and won’t allow him to be apprenticed to a goldsmith. Ranofer is allowed to work for a goldsmith as a lowly errand boy, but he is not allowed to learn the trade as an apprentice. He begins to suspect that Gebu is involved in some kind of thievery, but he has no proof! He must change his circumstances if he ever wants to become a master goldsmith someday.
