Books with title The Heir Apparent

Which is a darn shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she'll never win. And she has to, because losing means she'll die, for real this time.

From the New York Times: Mr. Ives, a playwright whose tasty psychodrama, "Venus in Fur," opens on Broadway next month after an acclaimed run at the Classic Stage Company in New York two seasons ago, has lately been pursuing a fruitful sideline in retailoring French classics in more contemporary cuts. Mr. Ives's "School for Lies," an inspired reworking of Molière's "Misanthrope," was a popular hit for Classic Stage last spring.
