After his father's death, Prince Lir is deceived by his stepbrother Prince Delbayne. In order to remain within the kingdom and to receive a penison, he must complete a quest. The posted quest is to save a maiden from a dragon. Using his wit and intellect, Prince Lir seems to have great success. However, the dark magic (blood magic) still overpowers the valient characters. The "distressed" maiden has a secret identity, unknown even to herself. Towards the middle-to-end, I was disappointed about the story's progression. The ending is satisfying and hopeful, though!
I love P.J. Lynch's illustrations.
*Highly recommend but see "considerations" first before reading.
Considerations: magic, girl power
