Synopsis via Goodreads
Trundle doesn't think he's an adventurer. He's a lamplighter. He likes everything safe and cozy, and that's the way things are in his peaceful part of the Sundered Lands.

Until Esmeralda barrels through his door.

Esmeralda, a princess with a knack for magic and for finding trouble, is convinced that Trundle is the only one who can help her find the six crowns. Lost and scattered long ago, the crowns could unite the Sundered Lands once again. But not if the pirates find them first.

Suddenly, Trundle is on the run. He becomes a stowaway, a drifter, a thief's accomplice, and a swordsman. Trundle may find that he is a true hero, after all . . . and that this is only the beginning of an epic journey.

Noteworthy Passages

Trundle and Esmeralda; pg. 22
Esmeralda smiled. "You're a good fellow, Trundle," she said. The warm glow he felt on hearing these words cooled somewhat when she added, "Even though you are a bit dim."

Trundle and Esmeralda; pg 123
The pirate hog's eyes were blissfully closed and his tongue was hanging out of the side of his snout.
"Is he dead, do you think?" Trundle asked.
"We should be so lucky!" said Esmeralda. "He's just away with the fireflies for a while!"
