In a magical medieval world filled with dragons, shape-shifters, and witches, a twelve-year-old hero navigates their identity amid an impending war. Callie, a nonbinary tween, serves as Papa's squire, yearning to train as a knight. In a society where girls wield magic and boys become knights, Callie feels out of place but is determined to pursue their dreams, undeterred by gender norms. When Callie's ex-hero father is called back to the royal capital of Helston to train a troubled crown prince, Callie seizes the chance to prove their worth. However, the powerful figures in Helston only see Callie as a girl, trapping them within a rigid hierarchy. In this environment, Callie discovers allies: Elowen, the chancellor's daughter whose immense power is suppressed; Edwyn, her twin brother striving for his father's approval; and Willow, the reluctant crown prince. As they band together, Callie and their friends become embroiled in an ancient conflict, realizing that the key to defeating the external threats of dragons and witches lies in overcoming the prejudice within their own kingdom. This thrilling series opener is filled with action, humor, and heart, exploring themes of identity and belonging.
