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

      WHEN THE Queen had created the position of Librarian and appointed Lucas to fill it, the Library, such as it was then, had sat in the bartizan of the southwest bastion of the keep. It hadn't taken Lucas long to commandeer the entirety of the bastion to accommodate his new acquisitions (and he really needed to stop thinking of them as his, they were the Queen's, but he couldn't help it). Lately he'd been eyeing the wide rooms to either side of the Library for possible expansion. He was starting to run out of room in the Library itself, priceless books and scrolls crammed all the way up to the hoarding and turrets. And anyway, Cr醱a had an entire tower all to himself, so it seemed only fair, in Lucas's considered opinion.


      Lucas turned and pointed at Bramble when they crossed the threshold. "You. Sit. Stay."
