The Princess Thieves (The New Century Multiverse)

By Alexander Shaw

The Arthur legend will never be the same... In 1873, a vast gateway opens up in London, leading to a parallel England populated by two races; the short, stubborn, Duart and the hulking, green-skinned Akka. Now, ten years on, Princess Gwendoline, last remaining member of Britain's royal Saxe-Coburg bloodline and secret bare-knuckle fighter, is preparing to be married off to the Duart Lord Aaron of Britannica. Gwendoline yearns for escape from her boring tosspot of a fianc?, and freedom to roam the two worlds as an adventurer, aspirations thoroughly discouraged by her diminutive sorceress bodyguard, Viola. Things come to a head when they meet charming, roguish duart Robin Hood, and his long-suffering Akka companion Oberon. What begins as a bungled royal kidnapping in Regent's Park escalates into a journey of fascinating discovery and frightening revelations for Gwen, and as the countdown to her wedding draws ever closer, she must confront what kind of Queen she wants to be. Their journey takes them into the world of Celador, to the overgrown ruins in Camelot Forest, where the ancient sword waits for a new and worthy hand. Meanwhile they encounter a wizard, a bounty hunter, a wicked Captain of the Guard and the rudest horse you are ever likely to meet. Continuing in the tradition of THE PRINCESS BRIDE and SHE-RA with a hearty dose of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, prepare to be spellbound by the lyrical, satirical, fantastical miracle that is The Princess Thieves. This edition is beautifully illustrated by artist Antonio Torresan.
