A Princess of Landover -- Terry Brooks, Paperback

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Sweet, charming and skillful . . . an enjoyable journey, a helluva ride."--January magazine

Ben Holiday, mere mortal turned monarch of the magic kingdom of Landover, has grappled with numerous contenders for his throne, but nothing could have prepared him for the most daunting of challengers: his headstrong teenage daughter, Mistaya. After getting suspended from an exclusive private school in our world, Mistaya is determined to resume her real education--learning sorcery from court wizard Questor Thews--whether her parents like it or not. Then, horrified that a repulsive Landover nobleman seeks to marry her, Mistaya decides that the only way to run her own life is to run away from home.

So begins an eventful odyssey peppered with a formidable dragon, recalcitrant Gnomes, an inscrutable magic cat, a handsome librarian, a sinister sorcerer, and more than a few narrow escapes as fate draws Landover's intrepid princess into the thick of a mystery that will put her mettle to the test--and possibly bring the kingdom to its knees.

"Fans of Brooks's magic kingdom of Landover will welcome this title. . . . There are plenty of treats."--Publishers Weekly

"Fun and engaging."--Kirkus Reviews
