| KING’S QUEST – THE FLOATING CASTLE |
 By Craig Mills. Retail Price: $5.99 US. ISBN: 157297009X. 297 pages. Published 1995. This is the first novel in the trilogy. It can’t be true — but it is. The most vicious storm in years rages through a dark night, and dawn finds sunlight shining on an ominous black castle where there was none the day before. The next few days sees a banquet of evil like Daventry has never known: ghastly riders in black armor pillaging farms, horrid trolls and ogres laying waste to the countryside, menacing flashes of lightning hovering over the castle. King Graham assembles his greatest knights in council to determine how to deal with this threat. As they bicker over a solution, a dark-robed image bursts into the chamber, announcing himself as Telgrin, master of the castle and new king of Daventry. As a warning that he will tolerate no opposition, he steals Graham’s soul, leaving his lifeless body slumped over in his throne. Prince Alexander cannot sit still. His kingdom is wounded, his people are terrified, and his father is near death. Accompanied only by an apprentice wizard, he sets out to banish the evil that threatens all he holds dear. But to do so, he will have to journey to the very heart of evil itself… King’s Quest 1: The Floating Castle (King’s Quest)

While King Graham and the Queen attend a wedding in faraway Cumberford, Princess Rosella plays sick and skips it.

Rosella begins preparations for the great Harvest Festival, changing time-honored traditions to fit her superior tastes. Ignoring warnings of doom, she has an ugly old tree stump removed from the festival grounds. It’s a definite improvement — except for millions of magical weevils that pour out of the ground, eating everything in sight. And the weevils ruin a Piper’s spell that was leading a herd of vicious three-toed sloks out of Daventry. Rosella’s at a loss now. Her kingdom is being overrun by magical insects and giant lizards. And she doesn’t know what kind of parents could leave a fifteen-year-old princess alone at a time like this… King’s Quest 3: See No Weevil (King’s Quest)
