According to the old prophet, the dragon cannot be slain until he has devoured a princess. Princesses, however, are valuable, and in short supply. And so a peasant girl is condemned to die instead. Locked into an iron cage and dressed in royal finery, she is taken by a troop of soldiers to the ruined city beneath the dragon's lair... So begins this unusual tale of adventure and intrigue, as three kingdoms strive for dominance, and an unknown peasant girl becomes the key to her world's hidden destiny.

Autorenporträt
At one time or another, Doug Bedwell has been a playwright, an actor, a college instructor, a computer programmer, a lighting designer, a factory laborer, a carpenter, a department store clerk, a construction worker, a lab assistant, a landscaper, a summer camp counselor, a pizza delivery guy, and many other vocations too numerous or embarrassing to mention. Elements of this eclectic background frequently find their way into his creative work. For an artist, nothing is wasted. Every experience - good, bad, or otherwise - becomes one more source of insight or perspective. His plays have been produced in academic, community, and professional theatres from coast to coast. In 2016, he published his first novel, the science fiction comedy Robot Captain, followed in 2018 by the fantasy adventure A Counterfeit Princess. He has also published a novelette - The Stone Troll's Diary - and a small collection of poetry entitled Wastewood.
