Had Princess Bethany known by the end of the day she would be a slave, traveling into her enemy's territory, she might not have gotten out of bed. Bethany had been raised as the youngest daughter of the last king to stand against King Wolfric's raging armies, but now she finds herself with a rope wound around her neck, marching into Wolfric's territory, with no concept of what might lay ahead of her.
Meanwhile, Wolfric's pet knight, Sir Erin Caldry, journeys into the mountains to discovery the results of an unplanned attack on the enemy princess' caravan.
Who will buy a slave like Bethany, without any notion of hard work? What will Sir Caldry find in the mountains? Will the two ever meet?
