The rules state that the oldest child is the one in line for the throne, so even though Rowan is only two minutes older than her brother Rhydd, she is next to be Queen and he to be Royal Monster Hunter. Rowan would give anything to switch places, but the rules are the rule, until a tragic event breaks up the longstanding tradition, and Rowan finds herself in hunt of a dangerous gryphon . . .
The first installment in a high-fantasy middle grade adventure series of the same name, A Royal Guide to Monster Slaying is a rousing romp offering a fresh take on familiar fantasy creatures and situations to prove that monster slaying isn't for the faint of heart!
“Armstrong’s characters challenge gender norms, and her writing attends to themes of social justice and animal welfare, relying on strong episodic tension to drive the narrative.” -- CM Magazine
