Description:

When a rampaging dragon descends upon the kingdom of Cannevish, burning towns and devouring the citizenry, the king is forced to issue a reward for the head of the beast: the hand of his only daughter in marriage.

Upon defeating the dragon with an old sword he found in a ditch, peasant youth Simon spurns the notoriously volatile Princess Tiera, who does not take rejection well. Now he's on the run, along with the princess' handmaiden, his hopes for escaping the kingdom unscathed compromised by a terrible curse: his stronger emotions can kill. With every setback and every loss bringing Simon closer to the edge of emotional breakdown, can he evade Tiera's soldiers, flee the kingdom, and win the handmaiden's heart - all while struggling in the grip of the parasite soul?
