by Roxanne Moreil and Cyril Pedrosa

Cyril Pedrosa (Illustrator)

In the kingdom of Lantrevers, suffering is a way of life—unless you’re a member of the ruling class. Princess Tilda plans to change all that.

As the rightful heir of late King Ronan, Tilda wants to deliver her people from famine and strife. But on the eve of her coronation, her younger brother, backed by a cabal of power-hungry lords, usurps her throne and casts her into exile.

Now Tilda is on the run. With the help of her last remaining allies, Tankred and Bertil, she travels in secret through the hinterland of her kingdom. Wherever she goes, the common folk whisper of a legendary bygone era when all men lived freely. There are those who want to return to this golden age - at any cost. In the midst of revolution, how can Tilda reclaim her throne?

The illustrations in this are gorgeous - super detailed, varied in color and texture, just amazing. The story, however, I find to be really lacking. There's not any real plot direction other than bare bones, so I have no clue what's happening. I don't know how motivated that makes me to read the rest.
