A PRINCESS

A STABLE BOY

A QUEST

When her father dies, Princess Amarande is given an ultimatum: Marry the leader of one of the four neighboring kingdoms, or lose her crown—and possibly her life. And to force her hand, her beloved, the stable boy Luca, is kidnapped.

But Amarande was raised to be a warrior, not a sacrifice.

And nothing will stop her from saving her true love and rescuing her kingdom.

The acclaimed author of Sea Witch turns the classic damsel-in-distress tale on its head with this story of adventure, identity, and love.

My Thoughts

A gender-flipped The Princess Bride? Heck yes. The Princess Bride is my favorite movie of all time, so I have to read this book. Now, I’m not expecting much. I’ve seen some low ratings, and it doesn’t seem like this will be an amazing story with epic world-building. It seems more like a fun romp with cute characters. Kind of like Lindsey Duga’s Kiss of the Royal, which I very much enjoyed. Hopefully it’ll be a good, quick read between thick SFF books.

What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
