One king has set his eyes on world dominion and the other has ambitions known only to himself. They say you should fear a man with unknown intentions, he can be as unpredictable as the wind. To strengthen a thinning alliance, Princess Giselle Marié of Messina and Prince Maximilian IV of Löwenkopf enter into a marriage contract-one that binds them politically but not emotionally. How can a marriage be born on such a foundation? Peace is but a string so taut, if stretched any further, it will snap. Prince Maximilian IV will do anything to preserve the alliance while Princess Giselle will do anything but that. Whether they know it or not, both are weapons to be wielded by their fathers.
