Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Once Upon a Marigold is a Young Adult novel by Jean Ferris.Edric the troll lives a quiet, comfy life in the woods with little more than his two dogs and his campaign to get the Tooth Fairy fired on his mind. Of course, that all changes abruptly when he finds a little boy hiding in the bushes, who follows him home and refuses to leave. Edric ends up raising the boy, named Christian, but he quickly grows up and begins nursing a crush on the local princess. When Christian leaves the cave to find his place in the world, it isn't long before he gets wrapped up in something much, much bigger than he could anticipate.There are two sequels, Twice Upon a Marigold and Thrice Upon a Marigold. A fourth book was planned, but the author died before it could be completed.

Chekhov's Gun: The phoenix charm, the blacksmith's flying machine scraps, and the loose stone on the castle terrace are all integral to the climax.

Bad Boss: Rollo, captain of the palace guards, does everything in his power to have Christian killed just because his girlfriend found him cute. And of course, there's Olympia, who would have anyone who even looked at her wrong beheaded if she had her way.

Disposable Fiancé: Olympia arranges Marigold's marriage to Sir Magnus, who's a decent enough man, but is boring and has nothing in common with Marigold.
