Book
Three tasks for a dragon / Eoin Colfer ; illustrated by P. J. Lynch.
Studious Prince Lir is next in line to become the Wolfhound King, but he can't ride a horse, lift a sword, or summon the fabled wolfhounds. So his stepmother decrees that her own son will inherit the crown instead, sending Lir away on a seemingly impossible-- and assuredly fatal-- quest: to rescue the maiden Cethlenn from the once-fearsome dragon Lasvarg. Rather than wage battle, Lir insists that Lasvarg-- now decidedly past his prime-- honor tradition by setting him three tasks to perform, starting with tackling the mold encrusting the dragon's cave (and his feet!). As Lir improves Lasvarg's life, he also grows closer to Cethlenn-- as well as the wolfhound puppy strangely devoted to her. In time, they learn more of the dark magic that may be making pawns of them all-- and how Cethlenn herself could be the key to breaking a spell that clouds the entire kingdom.
