The fourth installment in the cerebral fantasy series about Princess Lenora and Prince Coren drops the hapless pair into the worst possible world their friend Sayley can imagine: Winnipeg. The two brave a shopping mall, disrupt a convention of Lenora and Coren impersonators, and confront their authors in a sporadically funny and provocative self-referential narrative that ultimately gets too carried away with its own cleverness.

The impending marriage of Prince Coren and Princess Lenora is waylaid by a troubling shift in the Balance, which causes the Andillans (Coren's people) to lose their powers of imagination. This witty but convoluted commentary on, among other things, the perils of living too far inside one's mind will make most sense to those who have read the two preceding books in the series.
