The Pennyroyal Academy series by M.A. Larson consists of three books published between 2014 and 2017. The series is set at a school where students train to become princesses and knights in a world where fairy tale characters and threats are real. Pennyroyal Academy introduces the school and its protagonist, The Shadow Cadets continues the training, and The Warrior Princess brings the story to its conclusion.
Larson builds his fairy tale school concept with humor and genuine danger. The students at Pennyroyal Academy are not just learning etiquette and sword fighting; they are preparing to confront witches and monsters that threaten their kingdoms. The series takes the familiar princess and knight archetypes and gives them a training-ground setting that appeals to readers who enjoy school-based fantasy.
