In "Faint Heart, Foul Lady," Bran achieves his knighthood and has a mission: find the knight who killed his father and fight him to reclaim the family's honor. But Bran is clumsy and cowardly; his only real skill is with a harp. Still, he sets out in search of his destiny, and finds surprises, a dragon, a princess, and a companion on the way. "Night Life" explores the fairy tale "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" from the point of view of one of the princesses.
