About The Book

"A feminist fantasy adventure that overturns genre conventions at every opportunity." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

What does it mean to be a hero? A magical sword? A prophecy? What does it mean to be a leader? A royal title? A kingdom to lead? Misty is a Princess, but does that make her a damsel or a leader? Misty has a Prince, but does that make him the hero?

When the mystical sword that can defeat Beldora’s long-time enemy Lord Badlug, King of Grimoire, is stolen by his witch princess of Beldora, Misty, decides to go on a mission to retrieve it. Misty knows her mission is to destroy Lord Badlug, but what happens to the country of Grimoire afterwards? As Misty learns of the lives Grimoire's citizens, like her new friends Gorga, Fogmoth and Robin, she realizes overthrowing an evil King isn't as simple as it seems.
