As a terrible new weapon obliterates the age of courtly battle, an intelligent but plain princess and her companions--an addled young inventor and a kleptomaniac firebird--find themselves forced into a battle for survival in a suddenly very deadly world.

Disapointed
Love Paul Kidd's writing. This one feels like someone else wrote it and put his name on it. Kidd's Greyhawk classic series is great. His Gamma World book was also really good. This one stinks. Wish I could return it for a refund.
