Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and Paul Pinwheel's head is the heaviest in the Kingdom of the East. Among all the usual misadventures and bizarre threats to life and limb, Paul's relationship with his love, the Princess Envallegond of Vallandia, is complicated by intervention of the great demon of Gagoth. As much as he hates being a king, he ends up with two crowns, adding that of the forested Kingdom of the West to his responsibilities. With his friends and allies in both Hidden Land and Sky Land, he continues the struggle against demons and evil men in this last book of the Pinwheel Chronicles.
