Description

'So that's it then?' Said Princess Amethyst; 'There are no Princes left?' 'No', replied the Lady Rebecca ticking off the last royal name, 'All married, deposed, or slain.''Well,' replied the Princess; 'If they will insist on fighting all the time, and going off on quests...''You know very well it's what they're supposed to do,' explained Rebecca; 'It's how they prove themselves worthy.''I know' sighed Amethyst, worthy to rule a kingdom, worthy to lead an army...''And worthy to marry a beautiful princess like you Amy darling.' Grinned the Lady Rebecca, adding mischievously. 'Except none of them were quite worthy enough...were they?'It's not that Princess Amethyst Rose, only child of King Rafael the Worried of Pericord didn't want to get married; it was just that she'd found all the noble princes who came to seek her hand unsuitable. They were either boring, or vain, and very often boring and vain; far more interested in fighting and questing and knocking other princess off their horses with long poles then intelligent conversation. So, she remained unmarried and there weren't any eligible princes left; apart, that is, from Prince Aligodric of Golidor who was 'missing, presumed slain'. None of this would have mattered if it weren't for the fact that an annoyingly ancient law forbade women from inheriting the throne, and the only heir was a six-year-old boy: And the country was rapidly going broke.But all these domestic troubles all pale into insignificance when the kingdom is invaded by a dragon.'The Hapless Dragon' tells the fantastical tale of Amethyst, a Princess who knows her own mind; Becky, her rather lively best friend and the newest arrival at the palace, Michael, a minstrel with an exceptional talent and mysterious past. These three (Along with Henry, a rather good-looking footman), find themselves journeying on a perilous quest to outwit a wicked Baron with an unfortunate title and dreadful designs on the Princess and the Crown.Along the way, they encounter a half-baked witch, some truly awful singing and a lot of turnips: Before entering the dark heart of Castle Hideous where fear itself is the greatest danger, and coming face to face with a real live dragon.Contains fantasy combat, and Gothic spookiness, also rats. The Hapless Dragon is the first in a series of books with dragons at their heart: The next, The Dragon Girl, is due to be published in 2019.
