Set in alternate medieval times, where dragons are real, and everyone has a talent (like a magical power) Catherine is the daughter of the esteemed knight Sr. Williams. When she was born, her father, and his close friend, King Josiah, arranged a marriage, to join the two families, and to protect the kingdom from outsiders trying to steal the throne. Lady Catherine is to be married to Prince Vincent when they are 17 years of age. Cathrine is 16 and 1/2, and she has never met this prince Vincent. Her father said they were kept apart, "to keep you both safe and pure," they have, however been writing letters to each other since the day they could write. When Prince Vincent falls for someone else, Catherine is not sure what to do.
