About
With wit and gorgeous art, New York Times best-selling author Eoin Colfer and multi-award-winning illustrator
P.J. Lynch team up again for a quest story of knights, dark magic, and a maiden with powers of her own.
Studious Prince Lir is next in line to become the Wolfhound King, but he can't ride a horse, lift a sword, or
summon the fabled wolfhounds. So his stepmother decrees that her own son will inherit the crown instead,
sending Lir away on a seemingly impossible-and assuredly fatal-quest: to rescue the maiden Cethlenn from
the once-fearsome dragon Lasvarg. Rather than wage battle, Lir insists that Lasvarg, now decidedly past his
prime, honor tradition by setting him three tasks to perform-starting with tackling the mold encrusting the
dragon's cave (and his feet!). As Lir improves Lasvarg's life, he also grows closer to Cethlenn . . . as well as the
wolfhound puppy strangely devoted to her. In time, they learn more of the dark magic that may be making pawns
of them all-and how Cethlenn herself could be the key to breaking a spell that clouds the entire kingdom. With
transporting language and a magnificent dragon masterfully rendered with a range of emotions, Eoin Colfer
and P.J. Lynch make their own magic in this classic fantasy with a light feminist twist.
