Princess Miryam loves nothing more than the year-round sunlight of Nemer, riding her stallion, Friga, and causing trouble. But when an uneasy truce is settled between her kingdom and the Western Empire, the spoiled princess is chosen as the sacrificial lamb to wed one of the Empire's many princes. Surrounded by foes disguised as friends, Miryam must quickly grow up if she is to prevent another war and somehow become the future empress of a freezing, foreign land. But with a husband whose gaze lies upon another and the distraction from her marriage by the mysterious, blue-eyed man she meets by the river, fate seems to have darker plans in store for her.
