The Invincible Kingdom by Rob Ryan

The third title in the stunningly illustrated fairytale trilogy for all ages from internationally-acclaimed papercut artist Rob Ryan.

Born into the royal family, John has always known he doesn’t want to be King. To escape his destiny he’s run away and built a different kind of future for himself. But just when everything seems to be going right for John, his past catches up with him: Lord Von Dronus, the palace’s senior courtier, is determined to hunt him down. Forced into hiding with his best friend, June, it seems as though John will never be able to live an ordinary life. Until one night he decides to put an audacious plan into place.

Inspiring, funny, and moving, The Invincible Kingdom is about following your dreams and creating your own happily ever after.
