With all the easy paths home blocked and seemingly no way out, it’s up to Thisby to guide the princess safely past the hordes of minotaurs, wyverns, ghouls, and who-knows-what-else that would love nothing more than to nosh the royal highness for dinner.Full of fantastical creatures, illustrations throughout, and girl power, don't miss the first book in this rollicking new fantasy-adventure series from debut author Zac Gorman
