Rodanthe lives in a cave, near the ruins of her dead kingdom, the last of dragon kind and the queen heir of the western kingdom. Sent by the king on fake peace agreements, the prince and his loyal knight track the creature to a lonely cave. But the "beast" is just a young woman; dirty, starving and alone, with a werewolf, she calls her best friend. A fragile, forbidden bond forms between the prince and dragon and he can't leave Rodanthe there. But Rodanthe is the dragon, he and his knight did not scent.

Brought into the enemy's kingdom, Rodanthe must be careful. But the king didn't send the prince and his knight to bring back the dragon for peace agreements, he sent them to bring her back to her death. As he observes her during her time in Grimstar, he slowly finds out that she is the dragon, he's looking to kill. He knows she is the lost princess of a rival bloodline, and he wants her erased so he can keep claim and power of the western kingdom.

Caught between a king who wants her dead, a prince who has claimed her heart, a knight who's became like a brother and protecting of her best friend, she must decide; remain the scared girl in the cave or become the dragon queen she was born to be, claiming her right to the western kingdom and putting the king in his place.
