   Summary

   A Prince is sacrificed to the dragon in the tower for to ward off the bad luck which has befallen a kingdom.

   Except, it turns out there’s no dragon after all. Only an immortal magician, a constellation of new things to learn about the world, an ancient curse, and the daunting prospect of an open future.
