What happens when you throw a spoiled French princess and a stinky peasant boy into the world of Greek Mythology? Chaos, intrigue, adventure, and love.
Princess Elise d'Orleans, niece to King Louis XIII, is a spoiled brat used to having everyone cater to her every need. She hates Amorgos, hates the races of people populating Amorgos, and hates the fact that everyone believes she is their Redeemer, the One to free them from enslavement of their common enemy, the Asmodai.
Pierre Tonnelier, the village's journeyman cooper, found an extraordinary necklace in the woods. He always thought it would buy his way out of poverty. Instead, it took him on a strange journey with an egotistical royal pain in the derriere.
Nothing in Amorgos is easy. Epic journeys never are especially when the petulant princess fights being the Redeemer every step of the way. She also fights that stinky peasant every step of the way until she slowly learns he is neither stupid nor stinky.
Pierre and Elise have to avoid being killed by orcs and goblins along the way. They have to deal with grumpy dwarves and angry minotaurs. The unlikely couple needs to cross an uncrossable Grey Swamp full of the bones of the dead. They build friendships that will last a millennium and learn to grow up in the strange land of witches and fairies.
Skillfully blending non-stop action with fun and diverse characters and a sharp sense of humor, Shield of the Palidine is a unique novel that puts the Greek gods and goddesses in a whole new creative light. It is a romantic fantasy novel for people who don't normally read fantasy.
