"What are we going to do?" "Something very foolish." Princess Katherine of Elderhaime is engaged to be married to a man she's never met.

Nothing in this world is as it seems, including her foolish companion. Pursued by outlaws and monsters, Katherine will be forced to decide between her hopes of true love and the chance for peace for her troubled land. So, y'know, no pressure... The Princess and the Fool is a thrilling adventure dealing with duty, destiny, desire, danger and derring-do. A fairy tale with an irreverent sense of humour, a heart full of hope and a talking puppet.
