A PRINCESS OF LANDOVER
After fourteen years\, Terry Brooks has returned to the magic kingdom of Landover. Ben Holiday\, Chicago lawyer and mere mortal turned monarch of enchanted Landover\, has grappled with scheming barons\, fire-breathing beasts\, diabolical conjurers\, and extremely wicked witches. None of whom have prepared him for the most daunting of challengers–his teenage daughter. Sent by Ben and his beloved sylph bride\, Willow\, to an exclusive girls’ prep school\, headstrong (and half-magical) Mistaya Holiday has found life in the natural world a less than perfect fit.
But back home in Landover\, Mistaya’s frustrated father is just as determined that the precocious princess learn some responsibility\, and he declares her grounded until she successfully refurbishes the long-forsaken royal library. Mortified by the prospect of salvaging a king’s ransom in moldy books–and horrified by word that repulsive local nobleman Lord Laphroig seeks to marry her–Mistaya decides that the only way to run her own life is to run away from home.
