Sometimes, even when you’re not looking for it, love finds you anyway. After a small incident involving a neighboring kingdom’s duke (which he totally deserved, by the way), Princess Maryn of Avenris gets abducted —er, whisked away —to Madame Grizelda’s Finishing School for Finely Bred Ladies. By a dragon. In the middle of the day. By her parents’ request. The king and queen hope the school will help refine their youngest daughter and mold her into marriageable material. But Maryn is sick of feeling lonely, unnoticed, and unwanted by those around her.

Full of endearing characters, vivid worlds, and thrilling adventures, this anthology is also a touching examination of what these celebrated authors consider their best work.

We are a people of stories. We use them to entertain, to teach, and to instruct. Sometimes they warn us of the dangers of wandering too far into the woods, or they can be a detailed story to explain how magnificent landscapes came to be. Story has always been the way we pass time, the way we connect to each other, and most importantly, how we promote our values. Parables, especially, have a dual purpose. Not only do they keep us entertained, but they also make a point. Consider Aesop’s fables—tales of talking animals who learn valuable life lessons.
