The nature of love is thoroughly explored in a novel with a provocative name that takes off from HEAVEN CENT. Anthony transmutes a real-life physically challenged girl hit by a drunk driver into a blind goblin girl with chiefly aspriations over her brutish brethren. Meanwhile, Prince Dolph and his two fiancees, Electra and Princess Nada, set out on a quest that never distracts them from their personal dilemma, but along the way Dolph discovers the true nature of love. It's fortunate that Nada evolved from a bit part, because she is not the typical cold beautiful princess. Her friendship with Electra gives her depth, as does her duty to her people...but once again, someone manages to misunderstand an oracle's words. There are jokes aplenty about summoning the stork, the Adult Conspiracy, and men's stupefaction at women's underwear, but Dolph evolves beyond that, as one would expect of a shapeshifter.
