Synopsis
 A modern fairy tale of a young Princess with too much responsibility and not enough freedom. She is an only child to an elderly King and Queen of a Kingdom in turmoil. Upon her rests the responsibility to rescue her Kingdom one day, but for now, she is held within the castle walls for her safety. She longs to go outside just for a moment, to smell the sweet lilacs growing in the meadow. Come along on her adventure when she dares to escape the castle walls and meets a cursed dragon. Little does she know that while the dragon has an evil plan, her sweet spirit may just unravel it.

My Thoughts
  The princess Dreama is always kept safe inside the castle walls, protected from the ongoing war, and her constant protection ensures that one day she will rule the kingdom. Dreama daydreams about venturing beyond the castle to explore what the world is like, maybe even help fight the evil forces that hamper her freedom. But how to get beyond the castle gates?

 Dreama's new friend Dirk might be able to help. . .
  

 A beautiful story about about how important forgiveness is and how it enhances our life. Dreama and Dirk are lovable characters in a well plotted adventure story with strong values. Readers will love this book and come away with a smile.
