According to the old prophet, the dragon cannot be slain until he has devoured a princess. Princesses, however, are valuable, and in short supply.
And so a peasant girl is condemned to die instead. Locked into an iron cage and dressed in royal finery, she is taken by a troop of soldiers to the ruined city beneath the dragon’s lair…
So begins this unusual tale of adventure and intrigue, as three kingdoms strive for dominance, and an unknown peasant girl becomes the key to her world’s hidden destiny.
