Amelia Hartwood is a holy-sword-wielding heroine with one very unusual habit: when she sees a monster, she wonders how it would taste.

Bloodwolves, giant beasts, poisonous creatures, and the horrors lurking beyond the kingdom's roads may terrify everyone else. Amelia sees danger too—but she also sees anatomy, ingredients, and possibilities.

Her rule is simple: rescue people first, determine what is safe second, and never waste what can responsibly be used.

What begins as an eccentric appetite soon becomes something much larger.

A slain monster can feed a hungry village. A carefully inspected carcass can provide meat, medicine, leather, fuel, and tools. A shared meal can turn strangers into allies. And when hunger itself becomes a weapon, knowing how to feed people may prove more powerful than any sword.

Along the way, Amelia gathers an unlikely company of companions—knights, healers, cooks, craftsmen, and administrators who are never quite certain whether they are witnessing heroic innovation or the world's strangest culinary obsession.

But the Demon King's forces are watching.

To them, Amelia is becoming something far more dangerous than an ordinary hero. She is turning monsters once used to spread terror into resources, meals, and reasons for people to stand together.

She can defeat monsters with a holy sword.

But can she defeat fear, hunger, and war with a table?
