Princess Arletta lives in the early Medieval kingdom of Klavon and believes she has two problems, one insolvable, the other she hopes to solve for herself. The first problem is that she lives in a world dominated by men; namely her father, the King, and her brother, the Crown Prince, the counsellors and all other hierarchy involved in the running of the kingdom. The second problem is that she wants to marry for love, not for position, and certainly not a marriage arranged by her father who keeps telling her that she must learn to submit to her place as a princess of Klavon.
A pauper she spies at the beginning of this story turns out to be a prince but the man who proposes to her seems an ordinary man with no background of nobility.
Is she strong enough to escape her life as a princess and run away to marry and live the life of a pauper's wife? Can she be happy, living in a small, forest cottage-hut? Will it all work out happily ever after for Arletta? - Then, when everything turns to dread disaster due to the conqueror, Grahgor, will she ever find her way back to owning any form of meaning and purpose in her life?

His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor.
