— By the will of the king! — the voice of the herald of Harold the Conqueror sounded in my ears like the death knell of my dashed hopes for a modicum of happiness. I am Lissandra, the eldest unloved daughter of the king of the Middle Lands. A red monster, a reminder of his beloved wife who died in childbirth. I am being forced to marry Duke Granston the Merciless, the commander of the enemy army. Into a marriage that neither he nor I needed. Moreover, the Duke has one to which he dedicates victories. But who will contradict the conquering king? All I can do is accept someone else's will, but I will decide for myself how to live further!
