The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
By Christopher Healy
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You’ve never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel respectively, and yet, thanks to those lousy bards who wrote the tales, you likely know them only as Prince Charming. But all of this is about to change. Rejected by their princesses and cast out of their castles, Liam, Frederic, Duncan, and Gustav stumble upon an evil plot that could endanger each of their kingdoms. Now it’s up to them to triumph over their various shortcomings, take on trolls, bandits, dragons, witches, and other assorted terrors, and become the heroes no one ever thought they could be.
Christopher Healy takes us on a journey with four imperfect princes and their four improbable princesses, all of whom are trying to become perfect heroes—a fast-paced, funny, and fresh introduction to a world where nothing, not even classic fairy tales, is what it seems. The Hero’s Guide To Saving Your Kingdom is the first in a series about Princes Liam, Frederic, Duncan and Gustav. If you love this volume, look for Volume Two, The Hero’s Guide to Storming the Castle, and Volume Three, The Hero’s Guide to Being an Outlaw.
