A novella about a disgraced woman Knight who tries to mend her reputation by recovering a legendary sword from the cave of an infamous dragon. If you are looking for a story where knights do battle with dragons, this is the book for you. The story is told with a couple of timelines, and with in-world historical vignettes about knights encountering dragons that I liked better than the main story, which despite have a pretty good twist didn’t land for me.
