Tess doesn't fit the mold. She speaks out, has wild ideas, and can't stay out of trouble. When her family tries to send her to a nunnery, Tess cuts her hair, laces up her boots, and sets out on a journey. She's not running away, but toward something - a life where she might belong. In a world of ladies, protectors, and shape-shifting dragons, Tess must find the strength for self-reliance and the courage to confront her past.
