Princess Sveta is dispatched from the mightiest empire on the continent to wed the crown prince of a small, weak kingdom — all in accordance with a prophecy. But the crown prince is besotted with a marquess's daughter and barely spares Sveta a glance, while his faction subjects her to relentless, underhanded harassment. The one who burns with indignation on her behalf is the second prince, born of a concubine, who quietly resolves to see this enduring young woman crowned queen. He gets a shock, however, when he discovers that Sveta's meek and delicate manner is entirely an act — she is in fact a razor-sharp schemer with nerves of steel. She has no intention of becoming the wife of a useless man too lovesick to govern, and she boldly proposes an alliance: help her topple the crown prince, and she'll make him king instead. The second prince, a committed pacifist who wants nothing to do with the throne, suddenly finds himself swept up in a succession struggle — all because a calculating imperial princess decided he was exactly what she needed.
