The King wants to hold a celebration to honor the Prince’s rescuers but our three thieves are worried about staying in one place the whole time and getting caught by the Queen’s Dragons. In this book Dessa and crew happen upon a kidnapping and Dessa stops it only to find that the young man she rescues is a Prince.

There just isn’t a lot that happens here.

So far I liked this book even less than the previous two. This is the third book in the Three Thieves series. The layers and connections between characters promote critical thinking, while the masterful storytelling provides terrific opportunities for studying story components and literature. Creator Scott Chantler has also crafted a tremendously intriguing fantasy world in these books, fleshing out the intricacies a bit more with every installment. The fast pace alone is enough to keep young readers turning the pages. Dessa's derring-do is on display once again as she's seen swinging into action to save the prince's life (twice!), among other exploits. The cinematic artwork in this series offers a fully visual experience for young readers looking for an exciting tale of adventure, told in episodes. Dessa, Topper and Fisk know they are taking a risk by remaining in the castle for all that time, but how can they refuse the king? And to make things trickier still, is the charming prince falling for Dessa?

Once out of harm's way, the boy reveals that he is Paladin, the crown prince of Medoria! Upon Paladin's safe return to his kingdom, his father, King Victor the Fourth, decrees three days of celebration in tribute to the three heroes who have saved his precious only son. While collecting firewood, Dessa happens upon a kidnapping and manages to boldly rescue the captive boy and bring him to safety. Book three of the acclaimed Three Thieves graphic novel series begins with Dessa, Topper and Fisk, still on the run from the Queen's Dragons, stopping to make camp for the night.
