The Princess Beard by Kevin Hearne
This princess can shave herself! The hilarious bestselling authors of Kill the Farm Boy and No Country for Old Gnomes are back with a new adventure in the irreverent world of Pell.Once upon a time, a princess slept in a magical tower cloaked in thorns and roses.
When she woke, she found no Prince Charming, only a surfeit of hair and grotesquely long fingernails--which was, honestly, better than some creep who acted without consent. She cut off her long braids and used them to escape. But she kept the beard because it made a great disguise.
This is not a story about finding true love's kiss--it's a story about finding yourself. On a pirate ship. Where you belong.
But these are no ordinary pirates aboard The Puffy Peach, serving under Filthy Lucre, the one-eyed parrot pirate captain. First there's Vic, a swole and misogynistic centaur on a mission to expunge himself of the magic that causes him to conjure tea and dainty cupcakes in response to stress. Then there's Tempest, who's determined to become the first dryad lawyer--preferably before she takes her ultimate form as a man-eating tree. They're joined by Alobartalus, an awkward and unelfly elf who longs to meet his hero, the Sn'archivist who is said to take dictation directly from the gods of Pell. Throw in some mystery meat and a dastardly capitalist plot, and you've got one Pell of an adventure on the high seas!
In this new escapade set in the magical land of Pell, Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne lovingly skewer the tropes of fairy tales and create a new kind of fantasy: generous, gently humorous, and inclusive. There might also be otters.
Dawson is the author of Star Wars: Phasma, Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon, the Star Wars short tale Scorched, and a number of Star Wars stories for IDW's Star Wars Adventures all-ages comic series. Other works include the Blud series, Servants of the Storm, the HIT series, Wake of Vultures and Conspiracy of Ravens (both as Lila Bowen), and a number of short tales in anthologies such as Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors, Carniepunk, Three Slices, and Last Night, A Superhero Saved My Life. Ladycastle, her first comic, is now available via BOOM! Studios. Delilah won the 2015 RT Novel Reviews Fantasy Book of the Year for Wake of Vultures, as well as the 2013 Steampunk Book of the Year and the May Award of Excellence for Blud's Wicked As She Wants. Wake of Vultures received four stars from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, while Library Journal, and the Blud e-novella The Damsel and the Daggerman received a star from Library Journal.
