War cares little for the troubles of the aristocracy. As a terrible new weapon obliterates the age of courtly battle, an intelligent but plain princess and her companions--an addled young inventor and a kleptomaniac firebird--find themselves forced into a battle for survival in a suddenly very deadly world.

Now this was a Nobel story with Battles, Magic, Prince's, Battle Captain's, War Machines and so much more. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

Love Paul Kidd's writing. This one feels like someone else wrote it and put his name on it. Kidd's Greyhawk classic series is great. His Gamma World book was also really good. This one stinks. Wish I could return it for a refund.

Disapointed

First and foremost, I really liked this novel. I thought the characters were fun and I liked the idea of the great warlord taking over kingdoms, but the bird and hippogriff romance was a little too Disney. LOL

Good story with a slight Disney
