In one way, Princess Laura was just like all the other princesses you read about in fairy stories... She liked pretty new dresses and shiny new shoes. But in most ways Princess Laura was very different to the silly princesses you read about in other stories.
When the young Princess Laura secretly rescues a baby dragon from her father's hunt the dragon predicts that - one day in the future she will be the cause of his death. When Laura's 18th birthday looms her father presents her with a choice of suitors - one from each of the surrounding kingdoms. Laura's chosen suitor must kill a dragon to prove his worthiness to the King. What can she do to make sure that doesn't happen?
review - "An unconventional children's fairytale with a princess I might aspire to being if I were a child today. An independent minded princess who doesn't obey the rules, loves dragons and isn't afraid to reject unsuitable suitors. Vivid writing that conjures up likeable characters."
