| Summary | "The Saint of the Dragon's Dale: A Fantastical Tale" by William Stearns Davis is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story presents a rich tapestry of medieval intrigue, featuring the titular character, Jerome, a hermit known for his piety and rumored sainthood, as he embarks on a quest to rescue a noble maid named Agnes from the grasp of the nefarious Baron Ulrich. Set in a time of knights and magic, the novel weaves themes of temptation, moral struggle, and the interplay between good and evil. At the start of the tale, the reader is introduced to Jerome, who lives in seclusion at the Dragon's Dale, steeped in prayer and penitence. The narrative quickly unfolds as others bring him news of a little maid, Agnes, who has been captured by Baron Ulrich during a raid. Jerome's conviction to rescue her leads him through a series of supernatural encounters, foreshadowing the trials he will face, including the temptations that arise from his growing affection for Agnes. As he prepares to confront Ulrich, the stage is set for a classic battle between the saintly and the wicked, promising readers a blend of thrilling adventure and deep moral questions.
