This is sadly normal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMelilot is sick of being ordered to go on dangerous quests by her domineering stepmother. Especially since she always winds up needing to be rescued by her more magically talented stepsisters. And now, she's been commanded to marry a king she's never met. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen hideous spider-wolves attack her on the journey to meet her husband-to-be, she is once again rescued--but this time, by twelve eerily similar-looking masked huntsmen. Soon she has to contend with near-constant attempts on her life, a talking lion that sets bewildering gender tests, and a king who can't recognize his true love when she puts on a pair of trousers. And all the while, she has to fight her growing attraction to not only one of the huntsmen, but also her fiancé's extremely attractive sister. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf Melilot can't unravel the mysteries and rescue herself from peril, kingdoms will fall.
