As the only child of King Gerald of Lon, Princess Edelweiss had led a carefree life, until now. As she reached the age of fifteen, her father became aware of the need to marry her to a prince, suitable to governing his kingdom when he was gone. So he set up a tournament, the winner to marry his daughter. But Edelweiss did not see why she should not govern her own kingdom, and she was definitely not pleased with the tournament's winner, the dreary Prince Walter. So she disguised herself as a commoner and ran away. Only her juggler, Jeffrey, worried over her safety, saw and followed. But his plan for hiding them both as traveling entertainers with a troupe carried its own dangers, especially when two men hired to guard the troupe turn out to be former palace guards. A kidnapping, a rescue chase, and a juggler who is not all that he appears to be make The Princess and the Juggler a tale that thrills to the end.
