Blue Moon Rising
Simon R. Green · 3 novels · 1991–1993
Blue Moon Rising follows Prince Rupert of the Forest Kingdom and Julia, a fierce professional monster-hunter, as they're sent on a quest to slay a dragon threatening the kingdom and instead uncover a deeper conspiracy tied to the crown itself. Simon R. Green plays with and subverts familiar fairy-tale-kingdom tropes across the trilogy, mixing swashbuckling adventure with wry humor. It was published in the early 1990s, before Green's Hawk & Fisher spin-off novels extended the same world.
