    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;When a terrifying dragon attacks the small towns of the Northern Valley, a young Princess Rose (known later as Gran'ma Ben) must defeat it. The beast is actually the ancient evil, the Lord of the Locusts, and while Rose faces danger with honor, her elder sister, Princess Briar, follows a more sinister path. <p>An unforgettable story with beautiful, sweeping artwork, this prequel explores the fateful beginnings of the epic BONE saga. <p> <p></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A lovely addition to the Bone series. Charles Vess' illustrations (which I first saw in Neil Gaiman's 'Stardust) are beautiful and bring a nice new touch to a series I already know and love. 'Rose' provides a nice backstory for Gran'ma Ben, even though she seems little like the rough and tumble lady...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66989337">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Probably read before the Bone series would have offered more tension in the story line for me.  But since Bone does touch on the important parts, why this book?  I Would have liked a deeper look into the sisterly relationship, that might have made the whole thing more believable.  <br/><br/>]]></body>
