This Princess Kills Monsters

In "This Princess Kills Monsters," Ry Herman crafts a whimsical and satirical adventure that reimagines the classic Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, "The Twelve Huntsmen." Princess Melilot, burdened with a seemingly useless magical talent, is thrust into a perilous quest to save her kingdom and herself. Tired of her stepmother's dangerous demands and the constant need for rescue by her more talented stepsisters, Melilot faces a new challenge: marriage to a king she's never met. Her journey is fraught with danger, from spider-wolf attacks to mysterious masked huntsmen, and a talking lion with perplexing gender tests. As Melilot navigates these trials, she grapples with unexpected romantic entanglements and the looming threat of kingdoms falling. This novel is a delightful blend of humor, fantasy, and self-discovery.
