It wasn't fair.

Princes were supposed to go on adventures.

Instead, Thony's older sisters had gone off on The Quest and Left Him Behind. In Aldyrwald, of all places. I mean, yeah, it was their home and Thony was Crown Prince and all, but seriously? Aldyrwald was the boringest, most insignificant place in the world. In any world.

And Thony's efforts to "liven things up a little" are always so completely underappreciated.

Things start looking up with the arrival of Amanita, a mysterious foreign girl who also likes to play pranks, but refuses to share anything about her past. Befriending her ? and saving her from the consequences of her own hot temper ? somehow lead to Thony getting treated as more than just a boy.

But now his entirely unmysterious parents, Queen Annabel and King Bill, are acting like there's some Deep Dark Secret...

...and that it has something to do with Thony...
