It was just another day in Small Potato...
and a damsel in distress is on a quest to prove she's not so useless after all.
Locked away in her tower, sixteen-year-old, Megan O'Boyle spends her days gazing out her window and dreaming of a place where the sky's always blue, where a kind stranger offers a "how do you do?". A place where she could be somebody grand like the heroes in her books. Somebody her siblings would be proud of. Somewhere she could be anything but useless.
During a birthday visit from her grandmothers, Gráinne and Sofie, a door appears in her tower. A door that had never been there before.
Enter the fairy Mairé Annett, puppeteer, and purveyor of dreams come true. And she's come to collect her due for a deal Gráinne made years ago. Desperate to save her grandmother, Megan makes her own deal with the fairy to complete a not-so-simple task. If she succeeds, her grandmother will be freed from her contract. But should she fail, Megan will join her beloved grandmother to spend the rest of their forever after as puppets. For the first time in five years, Megan O'Boyle will leave her tower and journey North to the Vale of Heroes to save her grandmother, to save herself. To prove herself worthy, and more than just a damsel in distress.
Join Megan and her band of misfits friends as they traverse Small Potato in this whimsical first act of The Potato Damsel trilogy.
