I read this enchanting book in just 2 hours. I absolutely loved the world of Knights, dragons, King and princess Debra created. She is a skilled storyteller and I've added her to my list of authors to watch for new releases from. I highly recommend it!
A most entertaining story is author Daugherty's tale of Princess woe. With well developed characters and a twisting plot, this lighthearted romantic tale is a page turner you won't want to miss.
