Maria's life is falling apart. Not only is her Father pressuring her to marry the oldest, although may he add richest, man in her village but her Mother is raving about a curse her great grandma put on the family. Something about never being able to find love. But to make this cake mix even more interesting, a stranger from the castle has come to recruit. For what no one knows but when Bryce, Maria's long lived enemy steps forward, she never expected the result.
