As if that wasn't bad enough, her stuffy parents have decided to marry her off to a handsome prince who also happens to be a pompous bore. So Cimorene does the only thing that makes sense in her situation: she follows the advice of a talking frog and runs away from home - right into a gathering of dragons.
