Synopsis

After his father’s death, Prince Lir is tricked into embarking on a perilous quest to
rescue a maiden from a dragon. The studious young prince is no warrior, but he
uses his brains to make himself indispensable to the ill-tempered dragon.
However, neither prince nor dragon has bargained on the dark magic that
manipulates them both—and it may be left to the maiden herself to save them all.
A clever prince, an unsuspectingly powerful young woman, and an ornery dragon
with heart are at the center of this classic in the making.

*4.25/5 stars The illustrations were stunning, and I loved how the story felt like I was reading a fairytale with a slightly modern vibe- kind of like Princess Bride or Ella Enchanted.......more
