(4) YA Translated by Anthea Bell. Princess Malva, seeking adventure and freedom over forced marriage, escapes to sea. Unexpected betrayal lands her in an endless onslaught of dangerous situations, in which she is joined by would-be rescuer and pirate's son Orpheus. Many characters (e.g., the ever-loyal maid, the scheming advisor) are overly familiar, but Malva has more depth than your average rebellious royal, and Bondoux avoids tidy resolution.
