The end of their world begins with a story. This one. In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. This isn't most fairy tales. Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being -- called the Nybbas -- imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true -- not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon, may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph . . . or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules. Iron Hearted Violet is a story of a princess unlike any other. It is a story of the last dragon in existence, deathly afraid of its own reflection. Above all, it is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.

Kelly Barnhill
Kelly Barnhill é autora de livros para crianças e adultos, e de poesia — que ela sussurra no escuro quando ninguém está ouvindo. Vive em uma casa em Minneapolis, Minnesota, com o marido, três filhos e um cão muito velho. Um coiote a visita todos os dias, às seis da manhã, e uma garça-real sobrevoa seu quintal pouco antes do pôr do sol nas preguiçosas tardes de verão. É autora, também, de The Mostly True Story of Jack e Iron Hearted Violet, ganhador do Parent’s Choice Gold Award.
