While her mother is off reprimanding centaurs and her father is off hunting, Millie is left to deal with the magical issues that arise in the kingdom. Since her engagement to Audun, Millie has spent much of her time learning how to transform between her two states of being, a human heiress and a fire-breathing dragon. With her attention distracted by her engagement and shape-shifting, her own skills at magic have never been fully mastered. Determined, Millie and Audun use their common sense and practicality to help solve the problems in the absence of the King and Queen. One issue after the next keeps Millie and Audun occupied and away from the castle. It isn't until her younger brother Felix goes missing, that Millie starts to question all these many catastrophes. Her love and devotion to her family fuels her search and she quickly finds Felix, but getting him back will take much more than dragon-sense and practicality. Millie and Audun must rescue the royal family from a string of trickery, curses, and spells orchestrated by Olebald, an evil and ornery wizard. Driven by rage and a passionate hatred for all that is good in the world, Olebald seeks control of the kingdom. Limited resources and magical knowledge force Millie to reach out for help in unlikely places and from some questionable characters. In the eighth book of the "Tales of the Frog Princess" series, Millie and Audun embark on their most dangerous adventure that yields the most powerful of rewards. Through this improbable family drama, Millie and Audun are forced to bring together the two opposing worlds they represent to defeat the wizard and unite their kinds. Reviewer: Patrice Russo Belotte
