Bronte Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds (not seeds as I mistakenly and stupidly misread it, perhaps with music/bands from the 1990s on the brain) sounds like it will be a role reversal of what readers would expect from characters in these kind of fairy tales/children's stories, with the princess attempting to rescue the knight(s) rather than the other way round.

The names of the antagonists would appear to be aimed squarely at the imagination of younger readers, with "thunder trolls", "pompous griffin lords", "bare-bottomed cloud-stealing gnomes", "monstrous horrorflies" and "spooky zombits" among the creatures for the title character to contend with, while the quest to find the missing lightning steeds should keep the target audience engaged throughout. It might also be the sort of story that works well as an animated film/series.
