All Lucas Tripp wants is good weather for the upcoming harvest, suitable matches for his six older sisters, a little money leftover at the end of the month, to never ever come within brushing distance of ascension to the throne, and more quality time with Alex. That’s not so much to ask for, right? Oh, and for his dog to listen to him. And for his cat to stop plotting against him. And for his mother to stop being disappointed in him. And for his sister Clara to someday forgive him for stealing Alex away from her. Not that Lucas did that!

When Clara’s new suitor suddenly disappears, Lucas is drawn into an adventure of a lifetime—kicking and screaming all the way. Magical beings traipsing through portals, missing princes, breaking and entering, suspicious magicians, and arsey cousins doesn’t really cover the rest of it, but give Lucas time; he’ll come up with more.

The Queen's Librarian

      Alex scowled. "You honestly think Cr醱a would put Laurie in danger to keep the book away from that man?"

      Dorset held out a hand, palm up. "I think that Cr醱a and I are both entrusted with the safety of Her Majesty's Realm. I also think, however, that our ideas of 'safety' do not always coincide." He paused and set a hard look on Lucas. "I want Prince Laurie safely home. Very, very soon."


      Lucas gulped but nodded. Because he wanted Laurie safely home too. That way Lucas could kick his arse for scaring them all and for making Lucas acknowledge that Daimin truly did exist and one of them had apparently stolen his cousin--probably by luring Laurie and his fluffy head away by jangling a set of keys at him and saying, "Ooh, look, shiny!"
