The Knight & the Maiden: A Modern Medieval Folk-Tale

His Serene Highness the Prince of Castamont welcomes you to the annual
Festival of Saint Catherine and the world-famous Grand Tournament!

When Charlotte Montford learns that her father, the brave knight Sir Gilbert Montford, has been unjustly imprisoned in the small Principality of Castamont, she does the only logical thing: She dusts off her father's old suit of plate armour and disguises herself as the enigmatic "Mystery Knight" so she can compete in the Principality's annual Grand Tournament and use the boon that the Prince traditionally bestows on the winner to demand her father's release! All she needs to do is defeat seven of the best knights of the land, all of them trained jousters who are  determined to win the prize, each for their own purposes. How hard can that be? Right? It'll be fine!

But soon after arriving in Castamont, it becomes clear that there is much more at stake, and that her father's imprisonment is just a small part of a much larger plot that threatens the very existence of the small principality. And when Charlotte meets the Prince's daughter, the beautiful and elegant Crown Princess Iris, and instantly falls in love with her… well, that's when things become really complicated.
