But, as Misty says, Where is it written that a princess can't fight for her freedom? Despite protests from her father, Misty picks up a sword and fights back against Badlug and his minions. When she's eventually captured, she tries to escape and leave Grimoire behind forever, but she learns an important truth that changes her plans: The story doesn't end when you get what you want.

Perfect for fans of series like Ms. Marvel or Lumberjanes, this will be right at home next to any book about smart, spunky princesses triumphing over tyranny.
