Thanks to who found it!!!! I will now be locking myself away and binge reading this series. Lol!

The captain of ship falls in love with her. There is a scene when he lets her sleep in his quarters but she only sleeps on the couch and he is upset she won’t sleep in the bed. There is an atrium on board there ship she likes to go sit in. At one point someone attacks their ship and tries to take her.

I think she has purple eyes. Or maybe purple hair?

I’m 30 and read it a few years ago.

I remember this book from when I was a kid and I absolutely loved it, but I’m not sure how much of it I’ve made up in my imagination through the years! Thanks for any help

UPDATE! SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED! THANK YOU kit_katalyst !

The main protagonist is a young girl (princess) who fights dragons. People don;t know she is the one doing the fighting. I read it in the 1980s, I was 10-12 years old. It was hardcover, set in the past (medieval times with dragons). The cover had a knight going against a dragon breathing fire. it was a couple of hundred pages. I think it was for older kids, but I read consistently over my age range.

I read this years ago and was reminded of it recently but I can't remember the name. It was a short story, about a volume in length.

The setting was an alternate world about WWII-ish in tech level, no fantasy or magic. I believe there were two powerful warring countries separated by a large ocean.

The story was about a princess of one of the countries - I think at the beginning her house/mansion is bombed, and a poor no-name pilot is hired to fly her across the ocean to safety (?) in his dinky two-seater propeller plane.

Most of the story was the budding romance between the princess and pilot as they fly across the ocean, island hopping. I think the climax was something about a dogfight against the enemy country's fighter pilots that were chasing them across the ocean.

Bittersweet ending, the main characters get to safety but don't get together. The princess can't marry a nobody and the pilot is given a bunch of gold by the country and told to screw off. The pilot crushes the gold (somehow? I don't remember) and fills the sky with sparkling golden powder or something as a final message to the princess.

I think there was an epilogue written as an "historical account" from the pseudo-modern day time period of the setting years/decades after the main story, talking about the princess was skilled in diplomacy and cemented world peace or something.

I also think the author wrote another short story about the relationship between a WWII kamikaze pilot and his wife involving written letters, but I may be wrong.

Sorry for the wall of text, and thanks for any help!

I recently watched the movie and tried finding an EPUB version of the light novel. But I couldn’t find one. The best I could do was find the full text on Wikipedia and that’s pretty difficult to read on my phone. Does anyone know where to download it? Or where to just buy the EPUB version of it?

In the fictional land of Westeros, hedge knights are so named because they travel so much that they often sleep underneath thick hedgerows. They have more wealth than an average peasant - they can afford basic arms, armor, and a horse. But that's it. They wear, wield, and ride the entirety of their wealth.

They are the lowest caste of knighthood. They have no land and no lord. They travel Westeros selling their sword as a mercenary and perhaps entering tournaments to win renown. Their one avenue for social mobility is to find some lord who wants their service, and perhaps earn land and titles through their deeds and loyalty.

So is there evidence for such a class existing in European feudal society? Or was it essentially a prerequisite to serve a lord or have some established wealth before you can even think of affording the lifestyle of a knight?

SO update: kinderien not the name, I was thinking of the kingdom kildenree in goose girl but the rest of the plot is from the book I can't remember and the title is something like "the queen of [faery kingdom name]" I think..

The princess in this book is a fairy and I think is exiled because her wings get torn off so she goes through this wasteland like place and then finds herself in a neighboring kingdom. I don't really remember the details. I think there was some threat to her kingdom that she has to stop. when she ends up in the other kingdom on the other side of the wastelands she meets a girl that can heal and I think she heals her wings which restores her magic? not sure.

I came across the court of the fairy kingdom and I thought for a minute it was that book but I don't think it is. I may have also read that one and got them confused.

There was also a bit about marble being struck by lightning becoming a magic boy and there were monsters that don’t leave footprints in the snow. The magic boy floated but had to the not poisoned girl that he wasn’t a monster by making footprints.

I read this when I was 10 or 11, in 2015, and the age group was 9-12.

I don’t remember anything else about the book

I only vaguely remember it. I know it was a trilogy. The protagonist was a princess that wanted to be a hero. Her mother was the queen, but in the book they called her the Marn and she had to wear a mask in public. The first book cover had a ship on it I believe. I read it at the local library in the 90s as a teen.

As the Summoner stepped into Askr's grand hallways in a flash of blue light, a cheerful "Another victory for the Order of Heroes!" sounded from behind them. Anna was smiling widely as she spoke those words.

It was good to see her smile, Kiran thought; the stress of all the battles lately had taken a toll on her, and her face had been perpetually twisted into a tired frown.

"Indeed. It seems we've won again," Alfonse agreed.

"All thanks to our great teamwork!" said Sharena with a giggle.

Princess Eir only nodded.

The Summoner breathed in and out deeply, before saying, "Right. Unfortunately, I'm rather exhausted from the road- I'll be in my chambers."

As they walked away, they could hear Anna and Sharena cracking a few jokes, and Eir's soft, gentle laugh ringing through the hall. Kiran smiled faintly and shook their head.

"Summoneeeeer!"

Oh, I know that voice... was all that flashed through the Summoner's mind (it was quick, thankfully- all the battles they'd overseen had honed their wits to a sharp point) before a few very small arms wrapped around their legs, nearly sending them tumbling to the ground.

"Hello, Nowi, Fae, Azura," they grunted, trying to pry their legs out of the girls' surprisingly strong grip.

"Did you beat Hel?" Nowi asked with a big toothy grin, her draconic fangs glinting in the soft light.

"Yes, yes, we beat her. Do you want to hear the story?"

Nowi and Fae excitedly jumped back and yelled "YEAH!" in unison.

The young Azura added a soft, "Yes, please."

"All right, gather 'round and hear my tale. So..." The Summoner cleared their throat. "There we all were, confronting the evil sovereign of death, Hel. She radiated power and malice, even greater than that of the fire giant Surtr! She raised her scythe to strike at Sharena- if someone didn't do something, our beloved princess would surely be killed!"

Nowi cried out in fear, then cleared her throat and mumbled an embarrassed "Sorry."

"But then, Eir hurled Lyfjaberg, and it soared through the air, deflecting Hel's wicked scythe from its target!"

"Ooh! Then what?" asked Fae, her eyes widening.

"Don't interrupt. So then, Alfonse and the other Heroes did battle with Hel, while Veronica spake the magic words to channel the power of Angrbođa!" Kiran paused for dramatic effect and continued, "Time seemed to stop." They pantomimed a gun with their hands as they said, "I raised the second Breidablik, aimed it square at Hel, and squeezed the trigger. Pshew! A ray of l

So at one point in the novel, Leia and Keir are sneaking around the palace in order to eavesdrop on the conversations of her parents and their allies.

However, eventually they hear a voice that is unnamed and Leia does not recognise.

I was wondering if anyone had any idea who it was, or if it has any actual significance.

I just finished the book (holy hell it was awesome) and it is possible that they state who this person is and I just accidentally skimmed over it.

It could just be a random rebel of no significance who was weighing in their opinion, but I would like to know if any else had any other ideas!

Thank you!

EDIT: To further expand on this plot bunny, maybe Astoria and Daphne had a muggle or muggleborn friend who they watched Frozen with constantly while growing up, and they both take on the persona of Elsa and Anna, much to the bemusement of muggleborns at Hogwarts

This isn’t my theory, it has been proposed by a French philosopher called Marianne Chaillan in a book she wrote about the subject, and is told in short version in a video on the French website of Konbini. Another argument to that is that G.R.R Martin said the end would be “bittersweet” much like the end of Lord of the Rings.

This makes absolute sense to me, and although the odds are thin, that’s why I’m rooting for Sam. What do you think?

P.S: sorry for the typo in the title.

Not sure if SciFi is the proper genre, maybe philosophical fiction would've been more accurate.

It's a relatively short story about a genius scientist who creates a new type of ice (at least I believe it was ice, it was something that affected water) that ends up destroying the entire world. I think he called it ice 2 or something along those lines. I believe that his children ended up releasing the ice by accident. I don't really recall any of the other characters.

I think I read it because I had found it on one of those "a hundred books you should read before you die" tipe of lists.

I know that's not much info to go by but I hope it's enough for someone who's read it to recognize it.

Basically title. I know that each of these short stories is written as if a Maester is reading a historical text. I also know that A World of Ice and Fire reads very similarly, albeit with much much more info on the greater lore. I also know that Fire and Blood is also history-book-like, but with a few more interesting and in-depth looks at the Targaryans and their motivations.

My question is simply: if I've read Fire and Blood and A World of Ice and Fire, have I already approximately or completely read these short stories as well? As in they're nearly word for word contained within the other two larger works?

Thank you for any insight on this matter!
