To find a husband who won't stifle her need for freedom, Princess Shaila violates the law by convincing her loquacious Dragon, Galvistor, to carry her through the Veil on her husband-quest search.

Outside the Veil, Captain Breedyn Sol is a compelling commander who dreams of peace in spite of constant war. Despising beautiful, scheming women even more than fighting, his life is untarnished by love. While his existence is sterile, he insists he prefers the stability of loneliness.

From the moment the self-centered princess and the noble soldier meet, they clash as much as their disparate worlds do. Is it possible for their opposition to lead to what they most desire?
