Princess Cimorene never wanted to be proper, and the Enchanted Forest is better for it. When her friend Kazul the dragon vanishes, Cimorene refuses to wait around in a tower. She sets out to find answers, determined to prove that dragon-napping is no match for her wits.
Her path crosses with Mendanbar, the sensible young king of the Enchanted Forest, who quickly discovers Cimorene isn’t the simpering princess he expected. Together they plunge into a whirlwind of magic-stealing, trickster wizards, and fairy-tale tropes turned upside down.
Packed with clever humor and playful twists, Patricia C. Wrede’s beloved sequel to Dealing with Dragons delivers a romp through enchanted lands where rules are made to be broken and adventure is anything but sensible.
