Publisher's Synopsis
The emperor extends a pardon to Hara and Gideon, tasking them with a marital crisis, even as the tale takes an unexpected turn inspired by the twists of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Amidst this dragon-kissed landscape, the intricate plot thickens. The niece of the empress, having fled an arranged marriage, discovers herself entangled in a web spun by a scheming duke and the Roshian empire's cunning spy. The duke, with ambitions to seize the throne, aims to legitimize his claim through matrimony. Now, Hara and Gideon are drawn into a web of political intrigue.
Compelled to rescue the runaway niece, Hara finds herself accompanied by an unexpected ally - the groom left jilted at the altar. However, this seemingly inept companion proves to be a fop with hidden depths, adding layers of humor and complexity to their quest.
