Blood Feud

A legacy built on a lie.

Sophia is a bored and lonely princess, more content to live out her days locked away in her chambers than facing the increasingly grotesque suitors her father forces on her. With her younger brother destined for the throne, there isn't much value to her but in a marriage alliance. And so, she is destined to live out her days as the trophy wife of some fat merchant or lecherous lord, occasionally bearing children to bolster the ranks of the wealthy and powerful.

But trouble is brewing in the crumbling streets of Calos. While the future king sits pretty on his throne and dines on fancy foods, there are whispers of rebellion among the poor and downtrodden people. At the same time a dragon has taken up residence in Calos Valley-the first in fifty years.

With no valiant hero like her famous grandfather, Saint George the dragon slayer, Sophia's father turns to the old way to ward off the beast-a maiden sacrifice. What better choice than the daughter that threatens her brother's reign?

Sophia is no trembling damsel, however, and the dragon is not at all who-or what-he appears to be.
