Search for Princess Quest
A desperate race through the Valley to find love before the dragon comes.
In the sprawling saga of Bone, this narrative thread refers to Fone Bone's desperate mission to locate and protect Princess Cinnamon. This separation occurs in the middle of the series (Volumes 3-5), well before the climactic arrival of the Great Red Dragon at the Valley. By the time the final conflict unfolds, they are already reunited, with Cinnamon fighting alongside Gran'ma Ben and Thorn rather than being a captive to be rescued.

Lore & Background
The stakes are highest here because Fone must navigate the dangers of the Valley to find Cinnamon before the Great Red Dragon arrives. This storyline solidifies Fone's role as a true hero driven by love and duty, contrasting his determination with Phoney Bone's selfish schemes. In the actual climax involving the Dragon, Cinnamon stands as a warrior alongside Thorn and Gran'ma Ben, playing a central role in the confrontation rather than being rescued by Fone.
Reader's Guide
The conflict begins when the Dragon targets the Valley's capital, scattering the royal family and defenders. Fone separates from the main group to locate Princess Cinnamon, fearing she is trapped in the collapsing citadel. He navigates through the ruins of the city, evading smaller monsters while searching for signs of her survival. The climax involves a reunion where Fone secures her safety just as the final battle begins against the Dragon's forces. This event cements the alliance between the Bones and the Valley royalty, leading to their eventual victory.
