In this thrilling Xanth adventure from the New York Times bestselling author, there's no better time than the present to set free six brave princesses from the past. Young Vinia is living a blissful life with her boyfriend, Prince Ion. Their perfect compatibility is evident in their abilities; Vinia's telekinesis aids Prince Ion in walking, while his aura eliminates all allergens, ensuring Vinia can breathe freely. However, Prince Ion and his twin sister, Hilda, find their royal lives dull and crave excitement. As they reminisce about their parents' meeting, the twins recall their mother's unfortunate capture by a dragon, resulting in her being frozen in crystal alongside six other strong-willed princesses. Although their mother managed to escape, the six remaining maidens remain trapped, providing Vinia, Ion, Hilda, and Hildas caprine-crossbreed boyfriend with the perfect reason to embark on a quest.

But before they can embark on this perilous journey, they must seek the approval of their parents and the esteemed Good Magician. Vinia, being the story's protagonist, shoulders the responsibility of completing the Magician's challenges. This leads to their ultimate test: freeing the princesses from their patriarchal prison, held captive by the Dragon with the Girl Tattoo.
