In the land of Risdall, a dangerous game is brewing.
The royal family, unaware of the dissent being whispered between the underground users of sorcery long since forgotten at the urging of one wizard, has their only son locked in tower to teach him a lesson in humility before his upcoming nuptials. But what seems like a harmless plan to make their son mature turns into something worse.
The tower Garrett Taliesin is locked in becomes more of a prison than was originally intended once the wizard, Francis von Magica kills the royal guards and sets up his own security. Garrett is haunted by the very large, very fiery dragon that stalks the outside, taking away his only hopes of freedom.
It's then that the king and queen realize that in order to free their son, they must seek outside help, present their mistake as a captured damsel, the helpless princess in the tower, for who would want to rescue a prince?
Enter Shelby Rook and Chuck de Pretennes, two women who have nothing but a dream of a sack of gold once they rescue their damsel and ransom her life for even more.
But what seems like a clear-cut adventure becomes twisted. The princess is a spoiled prince, the dragon is... still a dragon of a smaller variety, the knights are actually an assassin and an exiled noble, and the villain is a man who would stop at nothing to have Garrett wed his daughter, feed his magic into his old bloodline, and reclaim the throne by any means necessary.
