Synopsis

Creel's aunt plans to offer her to a dragon, expecting a knight to rescue her and make her his bride. A dragon does appear, but Creel bargains for her freedom and leaves with a pair of mysterious blue slippers. Those shoes could either protect her kingdom or bring about its ruin, and Creel must figure out what they can do and choose what to do with them.
