The Lobster Princess

Princess Apondra is excited to start her eighteenth birthday, the day she receives the title of Eave Queen. As the adopted human heir of the lobfolk king, her days as a princess of privilege should be filled with academic discussions with her best friend Ken, the albino lobfolk librarian. However, word spreads of a titanic sea beast that threatens the land, and the court of public opinion begins to challenge her right to the throne.

When her adoptive father falls ill, an envoy from a kingdom across the sea arrives with a plea for her knowledge and leadership to seek out a forgotten hero of myth, the mighty Azcalaw. However, this legend conceals secrets, including the schemes of a fanatical cult determined to destroy the world.

Apondra, Ken, and her faithful highland cow, Teacup, set out on the adventure of a lifetime. To save the kingdom, she will have to challenge her preconceptions about family and obligation, and trust in old and new friendships in a fantasy world based on the landscape and wonder of Maine.

The Lobster Princess is a young adult traditional fantasy for readers of all generations about the love of family, the challenges of overcoming privilege, and the enjoyment of new journeys filled with friendship and magic.
