Together for the first time, two stories about Meliara and Vidanric's
oldest children: "Beauty" in which Princess Elestra (the plain one) goes
to look at a tree, and discovers a handsome villain, and "Court Ship" in
which Prince Alaraec and his friend Nadav, heir to Savona, go to court a
princess, but find themselves distracted. The princess does not intend
to let them remain distracted for long.
