Princess Matilda’s parents have been captured by a cunning enemy, but she still doesn’t think it fair that she has so little adventure in her life. But when she stows away in the royal embassy’s wagon on a mission to bargain for her parent’s freedom, she puts herself into more danger than she knew could exist.
Meanwhile, Frederic, son of a dying Irithrian earl, is faced with two enormous tasks. He must put to rights his mistake that led to the king and queen’s capture, and also look after the princess, even when she’s so eager to drag him further into trouble.
The kingdom of Irithria is on the brink of take-over, but can Matilda put her dreams aside for the good of her people?
