Victor's Challenge

Victor is back with a brand-new quest to prove he is worthy enough to marry his princess.

Prince Victor and Valerian want to get married. But Victor, in his own unusual way, must pass three seemingly impossible tests of bravery, endurance and cleverness. Victor must go back into the Dark Forest of Nevermore to battle a fiery man-eating dragon, retrieve an armband from the peak of a wizard's glass mountain, and uncover a tail feather from the rarest bird in the world.
