About the Book: The story centers on Gwen, a blacksmith’s daughter who secretly possesses the skill to both forge and wield a sword. Her talent is revealed when she performs an incognito stunt at a local jousting tournament, catching the attention of the cunning Lady Isobelle. Isobelle has her own secret dreams, but she is trapped by an arranged marriage to the tournament’s winner. Desperate for freedom, she connects the newcomer knight to the female smithy and begins to hatch a scheme to avoid her fate. The ladies must navigate a chaotic adventure filled with petty knights, backstabbing noblemen, a prison breakout, and a “particularly large and angry dragon.” The core question is whether the women will survive the night and whether Gwen, the accidental knight, can save the day
