Description
Princess Eliza has spent eighteen years waiting for a rescue that never came. Locked away in a witch’s solitary tower, she has traded the typical fairy-tale dreams of youth for a vast library and a quiet, lonely resilience. Now past thirty and long forgotten by the kingdom that once hoped to claim her, she has made peace with her isolation—until the iron door finally creaks open.
Enter Sir Kaylen, a world-weary knight who took this suicide mission out of sheer financial desperation. Expecting a legendary beast, she instead finds a sharp-witted woman who has been anything but a damsel in distress. The mismatched pair must embark on a treacherous trek across monster-infested lands to return home, but the physical dangers of the wilderness quickly pale in comparison to the complex reality of the kingdom awaiting them.
As the lines between rescuer and rescued begin to dissolve, a smoldering, forbidden attraction takes root. In a world where duty often demands sacrifice, Kaylen and Eliza must decide if they are willing to rewrite their own stories. This slow-burn, steamy sapphic adventure subverts classic tropes to ask the ultimate question: can a knight who was only meant to deliver a princess instead choose to keep her?
