Whether her mother left because of something Wren did… or didn’t do…no longer matters.

The king blames his daughter for the mysterious disappearance of his wife and favors conquests that require his person far and away from his daughter. Little does he know, things are about to change; the princess has matured.

There is a dragon to slay.

When abandoned princess Wren discovers a friend and a passion for swords, she also acquires a crucible. Uncovering a mysterious key to unlock her grief, and honing her sword, Wren follows the path leading into the forest.

In the new kingdom, spirited fans flatter and fawn over her, bringing her gifts, but are they attracted to her skill or to her need?

On an appointed day, the princess must face the dragon herself.

There also arises a problem of treachery. Her greatest strength leads her into nightmarish bondage. She is confronted with a task so impossible, she will need something far beyond her own strength to carry her through. Will she be able to win her quest for freedom or be forever indebted?
