Publisher's Synopsis
Claire Fisher and Pemberton Windover are married and fall in love. They enter into the pleasures of marriage and together learn more about the dangers they are to face as the Royal Couple. In Lumminea their official reign begins with a series of problems as they leave on what they hope will be a perfect honeymoon. Tieben's King Veral Hushara and the Lunarian Council are seeking to form a monopoly that would create higher prices through artificial scarcity and tight government controls. The influence that the people have over the Council would be diminished, if not destroyed. The Monarchy, who represents the will of the people, is threatened. Arriving in Ranaputkin, there is time to relax. Slowly they learn more about who supports them and who is hostile. Danger follows them to the city of Ranaputkin where sword practice proves to be more dangerous than Claire anticipates. Who is with them, and who is not?
