In this third book in New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning author Shannon Hale's beloved YA fantasy series Books of Bayern, Razo must become the unlikely hero his country needs.

Razo has never considered himself anything but ordinary--and certainly not a great soldier. So he's sure it's out of pity that his captain asks him to join an elite mission escorting the ambassador into Tira, Bayern's greatest enemy.

But when the Bayern arrive in the strange southern country, it's Razo who discovers the first dead body. He is also the only Bayern able to befriend the right people--potential allies who can provide information about the ever-increasing murders--like the beautiful Lady Dasha. If Razo can embrace his talents, he might be the only one who can get the Bayern soldiers home alive.

The Goose Girl is a stunningly beautiful fairytale retelling, filled with rich language, hopeful messages, and vivid imagination. Shannon Hale’s writing hooked me from the very first page. The story is both warm and exciting, and the characters are wonderfully relatable and memorable. With themes of courage, love, friendship, and duty, this book(and its sequels) left a lasting impression on my heart.” — Purely Fiction Reader Review
