When demons attack Ashen Town, Iris loses her mother and falls into a ravine. There, she forms a life bond with a dying young dragon named Nova and unexpectedly awakens a knight's crest unseen on a woman for a century. From a servant who has never held a sword to a warrior fighting on the front lines, Iris rises with Nova at her side, determined to rescue her mother and strike back against the world that once kept her down.
