This book was really good and anyone who likes Harry Potter, or Song of the Lioness will LOVE this. It all begins with a young princess who is best friends with the to-be King named Tor (he's a cutie). The princess is also the enemy of her cousin, Galanna. Galanna is trying to capture the heart of Tor but her looks just don't sway him. Then one day, The princess discovers a solution that protects the wearer from the harm of dragon fire. In her excitement her Nanna, manages to slip her in some of the fashionable things she normally (being a tom boy) would refuse to wear. She is so excited that she doesn't even notice Tor falling in love with her either!!! But when she is forced to test her newly discovered solution on a Dragon the size of a mountain, new problems arise, such as, slow recovery, Possible problems of war, and another great guy named Luthe!
