A princess with a more often than not useless magical skills takes on terrible monsters, a dozen same masked heroes, and a talking lion in a quest to shop a kingdom—and herself—on this affectionate satire of the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale The Twelve Huntsmen.
Someone desires to murder Princess Melilot. This is alas regular.
Melilot is unwell of being ordered to head on risky quests with the aid of her domineering stepmother. Especially considering she usually finishes up needing to be rescued by her more magically gifted stepsisters. And now, she’s been commanded to marry a king she’s by no means met.
When hideous spider-wolves attack her on the adventure to fulfill her husband-to-be, she is over again rescued—but this time, by way of twelve eerily comparable-looking masked huntsmen. Soon, she has to deal with close to-steady tries on her life, a speaking lion that sets bewildering gender checks, and a king who can’t understand his genuine love while she puts on a couple of trousers. And all the while, she has to combat her developing appeal to no longer only one of the huntsmen, but additionally her fiancé’s extraordinarily appealing sister.
If Melilot can’t resolve the mysteries and rescue herself from peril, kingdoms will fall. Worse, she ought to grow to be married to someone she doesn’t love.
