The Damsel

Lady Charlotte of the High Plains is wealthy, radiant, and very well-intentioned, but not, by any conventional measure, ready for adventure. Still, when a mysteriously enchanted letter arrives begging for her help, she sets out to save the world the only way she knows how: with knitted coin purses, endless optimism, and an unfortunate number of impractical carriages. Knight Piedro, seasoned, skeptical, and entirely too pragmatic, is assigned to escort her. He expects disaster. What he finds is something stranger and far more magical: a journey that twists through cursed villages, sentient mountains, and illusionary traps, and a noblewoman who refuses to give up, even when all hope seems lost. Together, they must confront wild magic, a forgotten child with dangerous power, and the truth of what it means to protect, not as warriors, but as people who choose kindness over fear. The Damsel is a whimsical, heartfelt fantasy about unexpected heroism, unlikely friendship, and the radical power of choosing mercy over might.
