Evie and her friends have undergone many trials and tribulations. Their number has dwindled as they face the challenges required to become Princesses capable of fighting witches, though Maggie returns for this final adventure.
Prophecy has dictated the great Warrior Princess will graduate from Evie's class--and many believe it will be Evie. The mystery of her mother's identity and why she was removed from the records drives the young girl even as she questions the assumption that she is the Warrior Princess.
Maggie and Evie are among the cadets trying to return home for their break when an army of witches attack the transport carriages. Trapped at the academy with dwindling supplies the princess cadets must find a way out--and to let help back in.
A magical harp once owned by Rumplestiltskin seems to be the solution: it will put the giants attacking the magical boundary to sleep. The quartet sneaks out and ventures across the lands overcoming the obstacles in their path only to go their separate ways at the peak of their adventures. Maggie, Basil, Demetra, and Evie meet back at the Academy just in time for the fight for their future.
The battle for Pennyroyal is the beginning of the great battle for their world. The aftermath finds the mystery surrounding the identity of the Warrior Princess resolved, but a more immediate question must be answered: how did the academy's security become compromised so easily? The answer solves questions Evie had carried since she came to Pennyroyal.
Larson creates a vivid story of young teens learning to believe in themselves and find purpose in the world beyond the familiar. The Warrior Princess of Pennyroyal Academy is intended for eleven- to thirteen-year-olds. Readers who enjoyed Princess Academy and Dragonslippers will find similar elements in this conclusion to the Pennyroyal trilogy.
