In a time before the Pomegranate Cafe and shadow witch Sakura's helpful meddling, the course of true love in Belville did not run smooth . . .

Daisy has a secret. In fact, Daisy is a secret. She lives high on the mountain above Belville, and only the local innkeeper knows her name. Daisy's fine with this, it makes it easier for her to do her job. But a party of knights is about to turn Daisy's quiet world upside down . . .

Sir Rowan is new in town and he has one quest, and one quest only: find the Tree of Life, rumored to be hidden deep within the mountain. The problem? It's also guarded by a humongous dragon. Sir Rowan isn't afraid of a fight, but he is about to regret his choice to bring along a band of unruly friends . . .

Told through excerpts from Sir Rowan's journal and Daisy's candid memories, this special Pomegranate Romance prequel gives us a peek into an earlier time-a time when secrets reigned and true love was left to fate to decide.
