Bookroo's summary

Curdie, a miner's son, returns to a life of normalcy until a wounded pigeon leads him to Princess Irene's mystical ancestor. With newfound powers, he uncovers a sinister plot threatening the king's life. Joined by an unexpected ally, Curdie must navigate palace intrigue to save the kingdom. Can he trust his instincts and the people around him, or will deception reign supreme?

From the publisher

In this sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, Curdie has returned to his life as a miner and has dismissed the supernatural happenings of the past, believing them to have been a dream. When Curdie callously wounds a pigeon, his conscience leads him to Princess Irene’s mystical great-great-grandmother for help. She has him plunge his hands into a pile of rose petals that burns like fire. Extraordinarily, this grants him the power to see what kind of “animal” a person is at heart.
