An aspiring knight unwittingly saves the dragon he was sworn to kill. But can he also win the dragon's heart and stop a war that will burn the world to ashes?

It is tradition for knights to prove their worth by slaying a dragon in the Serpentine Mountains. For Laurence Montbow, an aspiring knight from a decrepit noble house, it's his only chance to save his family from losing their land, and to secure a good marriage. But after a dragon hunt gone wrong, Laurence finds a naked elven man with amnesia instead.

Knowing the guileless elf wouldn't survive on his own, especially when trapped in a land that does not look kindly upon him, Laurence reluctantly takes the man along and tries to help him regain his memories. This act of goodwill turns complicated as the elven man keeps worming himself further into Laurence's heart until it becomes hard to fight the attraction, and the pressure to slay a dragon keeps building. But the dragons from mount Serpentine are not what they appear to be... and neither is the elven man.
