Dealing with Dragons

Fantasy Adventure Fiction High Fantasy Coming of Age

Description

Princess Cimorene, tired of the stifling expectations of royal life, makes an unconventional choice: she runs away to live with a dragon. Far from being a damsel in distress, she strikes a deal with the dragon Kazul, becoming his princess-in-residence, cook, and confidante. This decision plunges her into a world of magic, political intrigue, and unexpected friendships as she navigates the complex society of dragons and wizards. Wrede's signature wit and imaginative storytelling shine in this beloved classic that playfully subverts fairy tale conventions with a fiercely independent heroine.
