In the kingdom of Alderwyn, legends tell of brave knights rescuing damsels from peril, their heroic deeds celebrated in ballads and stories. But Lady Evelyne has no desire to be anyone's damsel. When her small village is threatened by an ancient dragon, Evelyne takes it upon herself to confront the beast, armed only with wit and determination.

Her plans are interrupted by Sir Callan, a dashing but reluctant knight sent by the king to slay the dragon and restore peace. Bound by duty but tired of senseless battles, Callan finds Evelyne's fierce independence both infuriating and captivating.

As the two set out on a perilous journey to the dragon's lair, they uncover secrets that shake the foundation of Alderwyn's history-a forgotten alliance between humans and dragons, and a prophecy that ties their fates together. Along the way, Evelyne and Callan must learn to trust each other, challenging what it truly means to be a "damsel" or a "knight."
