A note for parents

This is a gentle fantasy adventure by an acclaimed children's author that celebrates courage, love, and personal growth over combat. The story focuses on an initially timid princess overcoming her fears to save her sister, with fantastical challenges like dragons and encounters with magical beings rather than graphic violence. While there is a deadly plague and some peril, the tone remains hopeful and age-appropriate for middle-grade readers.

Princess Meryl dreams of one day protecting the kingdom of Bamarre, while timid Princess Addie is content to stay always within the safety of the castle walls. The one trait they share is their devotion to each other. Their world is turned upside down, though, when Meryl is stricken by the incurable Gray Death. To save her sister, Addie must set out on a dangerous quest filled with dragons, unknown magic, and death itself. Time is running out, and the sisters’ lives -- and the future of Bamarre -- hang in the balance.
