As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, the
reluctant Princess Buttercup is devastated by the loss of her true love,
kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchman, rescued by a pirate, forced to marry
Prince Humperdinck, and rescued once again by the very crew who absconded with
her in the first place.
In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet
Vizzini—the criminal philosopher who'll do anything for a bag of gold;
Fezzik—the gentle giant; Inigo—the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge;
and Count Rugen—the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans and
jumping into their stories is Westley, Princess Buttercup’s one true love and a
very good friend of a very dangerous pirate.
