Synopsis

Quests are overrated

All his life, Prince Rupert thrilled in the glorious exploits of his royal ancestors. Finally embarking on his own heroic journey, Rupert realizes there’s a lot the minstrels leave out of their songs. On the hunt for a mythical dragon, besieged by demons, and navigating the cursed Darkwood with a smart-mouthed unicorn, Rupert is becoming somewhat disenchanted with legends. But even if he succeeds, peril awaits, because the king never intended for his spare heir to return from this fool’s errand.

Now, with the help of a few unusual allies, Rupert must make up the story as he goes--outmaneuvering assassins, thwarting the voracious spread of the Darkwood, and grappling with rumors of a powerful evil’s return. Rupert may not be the hero Forest Kingdom wanted, but at this rate, he’s the only one they’re going to get.

New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green’s trademark wit and genre-twisting narrative sparkles in Blue Moon Rising, the first book of The Forest Kingdom series.

From AudioFile

Prince Rupert, second son of the king, is sent on a fool's errand by his father in hopes he won't return. But Rupert, with his sassy unicorn steed, is more resourceful than expected and survives his journey through the infamous Darkwood. BLUE MOON RISING turns this genre on its head--we learn of the softer side of the Night Witch and meet a dragon more interested in butterflies than blood. Yet this story is not quite for children either. Battle scenes erupt in bloody fury with GraphicAudio's signature cinematic sound effects and music. A well-rounded cast complements Terence Aselford's engaging narration. After five action-packed hours, listeners will be eager for the other two parts of this series.
