Publisher Description
Yo. Crown Princess Myrindi of Talvayne here. This is the story of my life so far. It's an inspirational, uplifting tale that won't leave a dry eye in the house. The film adaptation's going to bring home seven Academy Awards and inspire at least twice as many hot new looks for spring. Ah, who am I kidding? My life kind of sucks. I spent my childhood stuck in the palace with a bunch of dimwitted sycophants who think khakis are a good idea. I'm doomed to die a gruesome death during childbirth so my daughter can inherit the magic that protects my city. My father, the king, essentially jumpstarted a military coup by trying to sell my hand in marriage–and thus the throne–to the highest bidder. Let's just say the runner up got his knickers in a bit of a twist. Now I'm on the run with a crew of mouth-breathing weirdos who may not have my best interests at heart, hiding out in janitor's closets and public restrooms and kitschy suburban homes and all sorts of places that make me wish I could bathe in bleach. I haven't had a decent mani-pedi in days. But you know what? This is my f'ing city and those coup jerks can't have the place.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Colby takes readers on a wild ride with his stand-alone third Deviant Magic fantasy (after Shotgun). When Myrindi XVII, Crown Princess of Talvayne, turns 16, the king will marry her off to the highest bidder, after which, she'll be expected to provide a daughter. Talvayne must always have a crown princess in order to maintain the spell that keeps a disease called the Rot from overtaking the kingdom. Unfortunately, Talvayne's queens are cursed to die in childbirth, and Myrindi will be no different. But the snarky, foul-mouthed princess refuses to let anyone push her around, much less her father. She does everything she can to fight against her fate, but Sorrin, her intended fiancé, refuses to take no for an answer. When he attempts a coup, Myrindi is forced into hiding, protected by a group of mercenaries hired by her best friend, Rayn the Witch. Together, they must take the kingdom back from Sorrin and find a way to keep the Rot at bay without sacrificing Myrindi's life. This over-the-top adventure is irreverent, pacy, and not to be taken too seriously. Fans of humorous fantasy will find plenty to enjoy.
