Rowena's Rescue
language
( May 20, 2014)
“What do you mean, you don't want to be rescued?”
No one knew why the wizard Drakkyn had taken Princess Rowena prisoner, but her desperate father promised her hand in marriage to anyone brave enough to bring her safely home. That, it turns out, was a mistake. If Rowena can escape the wizard's castle on her own—rescuing herself—she will have fulfilled the letter of the pledge, and this loophole in the King's law will grant her the right to her own hand. That is, the right to determine her own destiny, and find her own path to power.
To do this, she will have to navigate the wizard's castle, befriending or defeating his servants as she goes, disable the enchantments holding her prisoner, and finally confront the sinister Drakkyn and force him to release her...all while fending off an increasingly persistent string of “rescuers” eager to claim her and the prize she represents. It's a tall order for someone whose only skills are etiquette and ballroom dance.
But matters are more complicated than even Rowena suspects, for Drakkyn's plans run far deeper than they appear. Princess Rowena is tired of being a plaything for those in power, but she has underestimated the cost of her gamble for freedom: unless she can truly defeat the wizard, she will only trade one kind of imprisonment for another, and Drakkyn will use her to bring the world to its knees.
The time for fairy tales is over. No more Princess Nice Guy.
