Young Adult Fantasy
In Robin McKinley’s Newberry Medal–winning novel, an
outcast princess must earn her birthright as a hero of the
realm Aerin is an outcast in her own father’s court, daughter of
the foreign woman who, it was rumored, was a witch, and
enchanted the king to marry her. She makes friends with her father’s lame, retired warhorse,
Talat, and discovers an old, overlooked, and dangerously
imprecise recipe for dragon-fire-proof ointment in a dusty
corner of her father’s library. Two years, many canter
circles to the left to strengthen Talat’s weak leg, and many
burnt twigs (and a few fingers) secretly experimenting with
the ointment recipe later, Aerin is present when someone
comes from an outlying village to report a marauding dragon
to the king. Aerin slips off alone to fetch her horse, her
sword, and her fireproof ointment . . . But modern dragons, while formidable opponents fully capable
of killing a human being, are small and accounted vermin.
There is no honor in killing dragons. The great dragons are
a tale out of ancient history. That is, until the day that the king is riding out at the
head of an army. A weary man on an exhausted horse staggers
into the courtyard where the king’s troop is assembled: “The
Black Dragon has come . . . Maur, who has not been seen for
generations, the last of the great dragons, great as a
mountain. Maur has awakened.”
