Title of your story: Knightfall

Your main character's name: Jade Sandoval

Your main character's virtue: That's something she needs to learn... but she is really good with a stunt sword...

Your main character's fatal flaw: Only gets enjoyment out of high adrenaline situations

General synopsis: Stunt woman, Jade Sandoval, lands her dream-job: being a stunt woman for the leading role in a big-budget Hollywood film.
Too bad the director is an arrogant man-child, the script doesn’t make sense, the stunts are more dangerous than they are cool... and that's not even mentioning how skimpy the costumes are.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, during filming Jade finds herself INSIDE the movie as the leading lady herself.
ACTION!
Jade is forced to tackle the role of a life time, as a knight who’s on a dangerous quest to recover a magical artifact and save the world. But more importantly she must save herself from the commander who is convinced he loves her.
This Ace wants no King of Hearts.
Will she nail the stunt or fall on her ass?
CUT!
Soon in cinemas near you!
