Description
Can be read as the FIRST BOOK in the RMC Series.
Recipe for finding a husband:
1)Take suitors on dangerous gryphon rides—and test their willingness to stick around longer.
2) Spy on the bachelors—to discover their true natures.
3) Let the suitors viciously fight over you—until you hopelessly fall in love with one.
4) Mix it together until you find the best future king consort.
One elven princess perpetually getting into trouble.
Twelve men seeking to woo her.
One suitor manipulating the events from behind the scenes.
Princess Zoyechka must choose a husband from a pool of royals, nobles, elves, dwarves, and commoners, all of whom endure daily competitions to win dates … and the chance to become the Supreme King of Velazia. But things go awry when one bachelor proves to be a spy trying to steal the Crown’s secrets. The problem is, Zoyechka doesn't know who the culprit is—so how can she avoid choosing him as her husband?
Warning: if you like gryphon-riding princesses, light fantasy worlds, a pinch of humor, a dash of romance, and a smidgen of mystery, this fairy tale mixture might be for you. Side effects of reading might include: hoping the book will never end, getting lost in the pages, and wishing you lived in an alternate reality with suitors vying for your attention. Read at your own risk!

Incredibly entertaining! It's like a fantasy version of the Selection with elves, dwarves, goblins and best of all the Gryphons! I mean really the Gryphons steal the show in this one. Our princess has a tough decision to make on who her future husband should be. I found myself rooting for more than one person because the characters are so good! MC did annoy me at times with some of the things she did but it's all part of the storyline I guess. I would love to see the next book! Would definitely recommend if you enjoyed the Selection and fantasy adventures.

Such an easy & cute read. Princess Zoya is relatable and the perfect addition to the series. While I did not read books 1-3, this story picked up after but was not a difficult read at all. I’d love to go back and read the previous books because they were referenced enough to not be confusing, but the references also made me want to know the other characters stories. All in all, a solid 4 star book.
Samantha L, Reviewer
This was a very fast paced book. I did like that author did a good job of making the villain unguessable until the very end. Usually I can figure out who it is but in this book I had no idea. A lot of the characters didn't really hit with me. Quite a few of them I wanted to disappear from the book. Others, made decisions that really didn't make sense in the novel. I am looking forward to the next one though!
