Most importantly, in an attempt to keep Prince Dauntless single, she has decreed that only the princess that can pass her test may marry her son. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless does. Lady Larken and Sir Harry are extremely disturbed by this fact since they have hit an unexpected bump in the road.. Luckily, Sir Harry is able to find an amazing princess, Winnifred the Woebegone. Winnifred is not your run of the mill princess, and decides to face the queen's test with courage and bravery! Will the Swamp Princess be able to pass the queen's test?
