Is your kingdom bothered by a pesky dragon problem?
Need
any giant monsters slain?
Are your own knights in shining
armor unreliable or--worse--cowards?
Young Cullin, wanting to
see the world, joins a band of renowned knights errant who will slay your
The only problem
is, it's all a scam. The dragon is no more than rumors and tall tales spread
by Cullin and his gang, giant three-toed footprints stomped into the ground
near strategically burned-down huts and charred skeletons (procured from the
local graveyard). It's a great con job, so long as Cullin and company can take
the money and run, move on to the next kingdom before anyone catches on.
But
even con men can be caught in their own game. Clever, spunky Princess Affonyl
doesn't want any part of the arranged marriage to an evil duke from a
neighboring kingdom. And she realizes that a fearsome dragon, even an imaginary
one, is the perfect cover for her escape.
It's one caper
after another as these medieval dirty, rotten scoundrels try to outsmart one
another. And they discover that the dragon business is more than just a
game...especially if a real dragon might be involved.
