Book Description

When King Leonidas and Queen Annabeth announce the birth of their son, Prince Leopold, they are elated and have nothing but the highest of hopes for the future. However, the young prince has a secret. Upon his eighteenth birthday, when his parents urge him to begin his search for a wife, he admits he prefers princes over princesses. He quickly finds himself locked away in a tower, and word of his 'sudden death' is touted throughout the Kingdom of Moreng. While the whole of the kingdom grieves their loss, his best friend, Amod, refuses to believe tales of the prince's death. With the agony of a long-standing but unspoken love driving him, Amod, along with a quirky search party, sets out on a quest to find and save the prince. The less-than-adept group encounters many challenges, new friends, and more than their fair share of foes on their journey through an ancient yet modern-day world of unicorns, dragons, swords, smart phones, social networks, and high-speed internet. Woven in with all the dangers of such a quest, there are life lessons to be learned and deeper personal truths to be discovered. The story is often as dark as it is lighthearted, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. You'll never know what might happen next, and you may even begin to wonder if love really can conquer all.
