While Princess Tundra is off fulfilling her royal obligations in the Kingdom of Bargains-a realm renowned for discount hosiery, suspiciously enthusiastic salesmen, and treachery priced to move-everything back home goes magnificently, catastrophically pear-shaped.
Marvin-the kingdom's once-mediocre, now professionally disastrous former magician-hatches a sinister plot to steal King Parking's identity. His master plan includes forged documents, a fake beard that keeps sliding off, and the unshakeable confidence of a man who once set his own trousers on fire while attempting a simple vanishing spell. Naturally, he also intends to plunder the royal treasury, because if you're already committing high treason, you might as well grab some pocket change.
Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Bargains, their own king is being slowly poisoned by an evil bishop and a physician whose medical training appears to consist of reading the back of a cough-drop wrapper. Their grand scheme? To seize power and rule through young Prince Fabulous, who is dazzling, charming, and has the political instincts of a decorative houseplant.
Back in Parking-Lot, King Parking is forced into hiding and must learn to live as a commoner-an ordeal that includes washing his own socks, standing in queues without shouting Do you know who I am, and discovering that commoners peel their own grapes, like animals.
Lady Jayne, Tundra's loyal companion, becomes nanny to Prince Fabulous. Between managing royal tantrums, dodging poisoners, and explaining why the prince cannot have a pony made of gold, she somehow falls in love with the boy's father, the king himself. (This is either deeply romantic or a sign she desperately needs a holiday.)
Tundra, realizing the kingdom is one misplaced banana peel away from total collapse, sets out to find her true love, Olaf the Plumber. Unfortunately, this quest may prove fatal, as Olaf's sense of direction is questionable at best, and his idea of stealth involves tiptoeing loudly while humming his own theme music.
Will her hero find her in time, or will he be distracted by a leaky pipe, a shiny object, or his own reflection in a puddle?
In this third volume, the plot thickens, the danger rises, and the love between the Princess and the Plumber becomes as unstoppable as a runaway medieval cart with no brakes and a goat in the driver's seat.
