After narrowly escaping marauding pirates, Arabella has returned to safety and is ready to go through with her arranged marriage.
The human Prince Phillip isn't who she wants to wed, but he was chosen by her parents to unite the elven and human realms. Arabella has fought her way through too many death threats and attacks to give up on this important goal, although the pirate Captain Smythe remains set on keeping the two countries enemies.
With the odds and her own heart against her, Arabella must overcome forces beyond her control if she's to forge peace between the kingdoms.
