ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

ABOUT THE BOOK
Una, smitten instead with a more dashing prince, refuses Aethelbald's offer--and ignores his warnings. Soon the Dragon King himself is in Parumvir, and Una, in giving her heart away unwisely, finds herself in grave danger. When Una makes the wrong choice, catastrophe ensues for the princess and her family, and love, courage, and trust are needed when darkness engulfs the kingdom.
Only those courageous enough to risk everything have a hope of fighting off this advancing evil.
There are some delightful things and scenes: the Twelve-Year Market that appears in its own good time and sells fairy goods; a clever blind cat who is invariably underfoot and has, of course, a secret!

Jenna's Review ~
There are few words I can say about this book. The princess locked in a tower kind of scenario just minus the tower. Una was to be given a husband, but once he arrived he wasn't what she thought, or planned. Kind of like "Shrek". She doesn't believe his so called tales of a dragon king coming and that she and others must take caution. But the dragon king has Una in his sights. One risk everything they have to defeat this king.
Great writing, great author, and all around magical book! Pick it up!!!
