Official synopsis Publisher
In Heir Apparent there are as many ways to win as there are to get killed. “A stylish tale [that] addresses both fantasy gaming and censorship.” (New York Times Book Review)
From Edgar Award-winning author Vivian Vande Velde comes a rollicking story that puts a high-tech twist on the classic medieval fantasy-adventure.
In the virtual reality game Heir Apparent, there are way too many ways to get killed–and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Which is a shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf’s dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she’ll never win.
And she has to, because losing means she’ll die–for real this time.
