Can a discarded princess and a recluse son of a duke come to term with their differences to save the world? The favourite niece of a king is abandoned by her husband after their wedding feast. Convinced her arranged marriage with the absurd stipulations advances the interests of her uncle’s kingdom, she tracks her husband to the dreary hinterlands of a remote kingdom. There, she discovers that her husband is a grumpy, overworked man struggling to keep a ragtag group of workers and guardsmen on track for a mysterious project. She can uphold her duty to defend her uncle’s kingdom and stand with her husband, or she can protect her heart, but she can’t do both. Which will she choose?
