In the Kingdom of Silvervale, the King and Queen attempt to marry off their daughter the Princess Lille. But none of the gifts offered by the eligible Princes are good enough for her, and she spurns one and all, vowing that she will never wed. Until one day a mysterious gardener appears who offers her magical gifts in exchange for her favors, and a handsome Prince challenges her in a duel of wits, and Lille must choose her destiny. From L. M. Roth, author of the Quest For the Kingdom Series, the Adventures of Abelard series, and Arise My Love The Princess Who Fell Asleep, comes a fairy tale romance abounding in mystery, intrigue, and humor as love blossoms, conspiracies are plotted, and rivals clash. A retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Swineherd, it's a sparkling satire on manners and morals, love and ambition, and the question is posed, "What is the measure of a man?"
