The Great Troll War is the 4th and final instalment of my 'Last Dragonslayer' series, which began with 'The Last Dragonslayer' went on to 'The Song of the Quarkbeast' and 'The Eye of Zoltar' before eventually concluding with this. It's readable as a standalone, as are the rest (especially Last Dragonslayer) but it helps to read the whole series.
Here's some blurb:
The Trolls have invaded. The Ununited Kingdoms has fallen to their murderous rampage with the help of The Mighty Shandar, the most powerful sorcerer the planet has ever seen. Their victory seems complete. Or is it? Orphan Jennifer Strange, Court Mystician and ex-Dragonslayer plans a counter-attack from a last hold out on the tip of Cornwall, protected by only an eight foot wide trench filled with buttons - something that Trolls just cannot abide. The Fencers, Marksmen and Terrible Warriors are not what they seem, and resources are scarce.
With only:
* An uncrowned Queen with no nation
* Two fussy dragons
* A dozen spoiled princesses
* Two sorcerers
* No magic
* A vegetarian Troll
* A sarcastic assistant
* A Quarkbeast
* A few rusty swords
Jennifer Strange and her team need to reverse a plan more than 400 years in the making, and in only forty eight hours.
Sometimes, when the entire planet is in jeopardy, what you need most of all is a sixteen year old girl with courage, ingenuity, and the loyalty of true friends.
