A princess of Landover
(Book)

Princess Mistaya's frustrated father Ben Holiday is determined that his precocious daughter learn some responsibility, and he declares her grounded until she successfully refurbishes the long-forsaken royal library. Mortified by the prospect of salvaging a king's ransom in moldy books--and horrified by word that repulsive local nobleman Lord Laphroig seeks to marry her--Mistaya decides that the only way to run her own life is to run away from home ... a decision that draws Landover's intrepid princess to the last place she expected to go, and into the thick of a mystery that will put her mettle to the test--and might bring the kingdom to its knees.
