Now a major Netflix film starring Millie Bobby Brown
‘The perfect spin to a fantasy fairy tale’
CHLOE GONG
Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. Growing up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for her hand in marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, she is quickly enchanted by the beauty of its people – and of its prince.
Too late, she discovers that Aurea’s prosperity has been purchased at a heavy cost – each harvest season, the kingdom sacrifices its princesses to a bloodthirsty dragon.
And Elodie is next.
A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy. Based on a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, Damsel is a groundbreaking collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Skye and the team behind the Netflix film, starring Millie Bobby Brown.

With deft prose and intricate invention, Damsel brings the perfect spin to a fantasy fairy tale.
A must-read novel by a must-read author, this brilliant story sparkles with adventure, unexpected love, and stunning twists expertly crafted. Block off an entire day-you're not going to want to put Damsel down.
Elegant and explosive, Damsel has all the fantasy, beauty, dragons, and intrigue of Game of Thrones, elevated by a feminist lens and a powerful heroine-a long line of heroines-determined to do right by the world and by her fellow women.
