When the Lady Anna Katherine is unexpectedly married to Prince Lelio, she must forget her unrequited love for Prince Lelio's own brother, Brandt. The two fear they will never grow to love each other, but when attempts on Anna Katherine's life start appearing, they are forced into something much darker than an arranged marriage. Together they must save the kingdom from ruin with some help from unexpected places. A seer, a bandit, a widow, and royalty make for an interesting mix in this romantic fantasy.
