She is escorted by three Knights of the Round Table, Percivale, Gareth and Bors. Along the way Moxie is stunned by the real world, so different from life in the castle. For one thing, the knights ignore her demands and her commands. They expect her to sleep on the ground, get up at dawn and eat what they can catch or find. Moxie notices how independent they are. The knights do what has to be done whether it's deciding on a route or fighting brigands. Moxie realizes she hasn't been trained to do anything. She doesn't have a life.

Ain't gonna happen!Moxie has a plan; she's determined to rule as queen after her father, King Smedley, dies. But Smedley refuses to acknowledge her as his heir. Her uncle also wants the throne and he's already tried once to eliminate Moxie as competition. Entertaining from beginning to end, MOXIE'S DECISION is uproariously funny and satire at its best.
