Publisher's Synopsis
Return to the neo-medieval world of The Butterfly Princess series in the sequel to A Butterfly's Tale that will make you ask this vital question: Why didn't the author just stop with one book?! Four, the accidental king of Torlynn, has got a problem. No, it's not that he has no idea how to rule a kingdom. No, it's not that his new castle is cold and drafty. The problem is Mariposa, his beloved Butterfly Princess of the forested Darklands, and trying to keep her happy. No small feat when she's being forced to eat human food and actually has to wear clothing for a change. Naturally, Four does what Four does best and starts making all the wrong decisions. He wages war on the wrong people, for starters. He gets separated from Mariposa, too. Oh, and he also stumbles upon a plot to unearth and reassemble an ancient technological relic that could wipe out all the Greater Races. No big deal. Now it's up to Four and his new companions-Syxx, the cute and fiesty moth warrior, the homeless child Talla Unica, and Tha'aron, the batty old wizard-to find the deadly World-Breaker. It's a race against time in which Four comes face-to-face with goblins, dragons, and a mysterious pirate captain whose airship carries secrets about Four's tragic past...
