Prologue

Pull up a chair, children, and I'll tell you the story of the thief, the knight, the witch, and the princess. Princess Nicolette, princess of High Springtania (I'm pretty sure the king was smoking weed when he picked that name, but I digress), Nora Morningsong, the thief, Tristan London, the knight, and Frederica Nightshade had seemingly nothing in common at first.

And they don't.

They really don't.

But despite this, they all ended up, through a series of not-so-small disasters and great misfortune, in the back of a wagon together, which is how the adventures and misadventures began. Prepare to laugh, gasp, cringe, be on the edge of your seat (or not), and possibly fall asleep.

Well, it can't all be exciting…
