Having married her childhood sweetheart, Princess Alia's world begins to disintegrate. Her nine-year-old relationship with her husband, self-made engineering genius Alex Glandore is failing. Espionage is uncovered in his firm and at the Palace, threatening the Realm and its people.

The culprits are attempting to construct a new world order and are willing to use force to gain control of countries, politicians and head of states. The looming threat provokes revolt in Europe and at home in Rubinia. Alia and Alex's concerns for their country force them to join ranks in order to overcome the rebels - particularly for the sake of their eight year old son and heir, Stephan.

From rugged Alps to the sophisticated metropolis of Washington DC, readers are immersed in a mix of romance, suspense and action, with a cast of characters ranging from the Royal family and people of Rubinia to the President of the United States.
