The premise: The superstitious townspeople sacrifice their only virgin female to the Dragon of Castle Weyrcraig. Once inside, Gwendolyn learns the truth about the town's illustrious history and its "Dragon".

Miscellaneous notes: At first, I just read this like a fairy tale, not taking it very seriously. I was truly enjoying it. But then it just disintegrated into a cliché Historical Romance and I grew bored. And I have to say, nothing quells a romance to me than a man leaving a woman because he doesn't want to "hurt her" (or vice versa). Bleccccchhhhh!
