When Vannos learns why hes going and what awaits him there panic sets in but its already far too late.Soon he arrives on the mysterious planet surrounded by strangers who dont know his real identity but if he tells the truth about who he really is harm will come to his family at home. Forced into a charade Vannos has to marry the king of Moravia a handsome warrior king named Stefan. He must also pretend to be a man who is far more worldly in every way.

Redmond is dispatched to act as a go-between and he finds much more waiting for him than just an lovestruck and unhappy prince in this distant world.
