Books like Dragon Slippers (Dragon Slippers #1) by Jessica Day George
Poor Creel lives in a modest village and faces a grim prospect: her aunt plans to sacrifice her to a local dragon in hopes of attracting a heroic knight who will rescue and marry her, lifting the family from poverty. Unwillingly, Creel agrees, knowing no dragon has been seen in centuries. When the beast finally arrives, Creel negotiates with it and obtains a simple pair of blue slippers from its hoard, believing them ordinary. Later, she discovers that the slippers possess extraordinary powers that could either safeguard her kingdom from impending war or bring its destruction. The story follows Creel’s journey as she grapples with this incredible responsibility in a world of fantasy and uncertainty.
