An unusual princess, a frustrated stableboy, and a Talking Camel rely on their wits to fight off a deadly enemy. Twelve-year-old Princess Amber spends a lot of time hiding from her governess. Nicknamed “Persnickety” when she was tiny, she prefers to help out in the stables, fish in the stream, and dream of doing brave deeds. So when a Messenger from another land arrives to speak with the King, she's overjoyed to discover the Messenger’s camel talks, even though it swears her to secrecy. The Princess’s best friend, Stefan, works in the stables because he has no skill at weaving, his adopted parents’ occupation. But he, too, yearns for action and brave deeds. When the Messenger's camel tells them that his rider's warning of a coming attack on their Kingdom is a lie, Stefan longs to be a hero. But what can he do? Determined to save the Kingdom without letting anyone know the camel can speak, Princess Amber and Stefan come up with a two-part plan. She will keep her father from doing what the Messenger wants.
