• By the same author as Prince and Knight, this is a fun twist on the classic Cinderella ball. A warrior maiden reluctantly goes to the ball and falls in love with the princess. No one acts like this is weird or forbidden, and the book reads like a sweet love story. With its vibrant illustrations, multi-racial cast of characters, and the maiden’s cute pet dragon, this is an accessable, lesbian fairytale.
