About this book

When Addie's fearless older sister Meryl falls mysteriously ill with the Gray Death, the timid princess must find her courage and venture into the dangerous kingdom of Bamarre to seek a cure. Armed with enchanted gifts—seven-league boots, a magic spyglass, and help from Rhys, the smitten young sorcerer—Addie embarks on a thrilling quest filled with clever encounters against tricky specters, cunning dragons, and her own deepest fears. This beautifully layered tale weaves together adventure, self-discovery, and a touch of romance as Addie learns that bravery isn't the absence of fear, but what you do despite it. Gail Carson Levine crafts a heartwarming story about sisterhood and finding strength you didn't know you possessed.

Soft folk and indie melodies tinged with quiet courage—think Bon Iver's vulnerability mixed with Celtic wonder. Ethereal strings, gentle acoustic guitars, and moments of swelling orchestral hope. Perfect for timid hearts discovering their own strength.
