The winter is over. The battle is won. King Edmund has now been king under his brother for several years of the Golden Age in Narnia. He, Peter and their sisters all have ruled excellently and life is peaceful. Over the years, Susan has had many suitors, and has almost married many times. Lucy, too, has had her fair amount of suitors, and Peter has looked into many women, ranging from beautiful wood nymphs to the wealthy daughters of foreign kings and nobles. While Edmund has had many females interested in him, he has never held any interest in them until one day, a lovely lady by the curious name Natalie appears at court in Cair Paravel. The mysterious courtier tells Edmund that she is a ward from Aslan and his father to watch over the kings and queens in their reign. Edmund soon falls deeply in love with the beautiful and strong stranger in their midst, and - surprisingly - she returns the favor that he gives her. But the curious little beauty from the True King seems to have a secret that she holds inside of her. As she is come to be know as the Lioness not only to her king lover, but to the nation and those beyond, a weight that is heavier than all others seems to be slowly lowering onto Natalie's shoulders. As the happy days in Cair Paravel pass by, the Lioness slowly becomes saddened with the burden she knows she will have to carry as the world she and her Father so love falls into the darkness of the ages with out their beloved monarchs. Natalie's sour fate is not softened by the prospect of losing the love of her life in the process, but sometimes what is meant to be will be, and there's nothing you can do to change it.
