Three Thieves Vol. 3 - by Scott Chantler

Book Synopsis

The Captive Prince is the third volume in the Three Thieves series and it is full of fast-paced excitement, daring escapes and close calls. For fans of Amulet, Mighty Jack and Zita the Space Girl, The Fugitive and Bone.

For once, the three thieves are hailed as heroes, but how long will their good luck last?

As the three thieves trek further west in search of Greyfalcon, they stumble upon a kidnapping in progress. Dess daringly rescues the victim -- who turns out to be the crown prince of Medoria!

The thieves are still on the run from the Queen's Dragons, so being openly celebrated by a neighboring kingdom might be a bad idea. But it also holds a rare opportunity. The prince -- who grows more and more devoted to Dessa -- promises his help on her quest. However, he and his father, the King, may not see eye-to-eye.
