    About this audiobook

    Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself-a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch-and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon-and a beautiful princess to rescue. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle, and with the evil of Darkwood spreading, Rupert was going to need all the friends he could get.

      MOST NOVELISTS HAVE AT LEAST ONE book in a drawer that represents an early effort, a text that will never be offered up to a wider readership. In the case of Jay Kristoff, this book was a tale of bloodsuckers he wrote in 2008. “It was right at the ta

    • 5/5
      This is one of my very favorite books. The classic fantasy epic gets turned on its head by smart-mouthed, independent-minded characters who're all too aware of what their appointed roles are meant to be, and aren't especially inclined to indulge tradition (much to the chagrin of the more old-fashioned members of the court). But it's just as well they don't, because what everyone intended to be a simple old-fashioned princely quest quickly turns exceedingly ugly. As the magic of the elder dark rises, warping everything it touches, the prince and his unorthodox companions provide the only hope to facing down the things that should no longer be so that the sun will rise on a world that still has a place for humans.Liberal doses of sarcastic humor interspersed with shades of horror of an almost Lovecraftian bent elevate this from a run-of-the-mill fantasy novel to something rich and unique. Characters who seem to feel themselves born to populate a fantasy satire have to cope with a light-hearted romp turned deadly serious, with (ludicrously enough) the fate of the world resting squarely on their shoulders after all.

      A talking unicorn, a dragon afraid of a princess, a wicked sorcerer, handsome prince and a quest. What more could you ask for?
