Con esto en mente, la princesa Dawn Easter de Sorin espera la llegada de su prometido, el principe Adley Daren de Eirian, con quien debera casarse, mientras que Calen, su guardaespaldas, ha estado enamorado de ella en secreto durante años. Yin y Eurwen, los dragones emisarios de Sorin y Eirian, saben que sus principes no se aman, pero ¿que pueden hacer cuando la ley es tan dura en los Cuatro Reinos? ¿Y si alguien empieza a atentar contra la vida de los principes y la unica solucion es seguir adelante con esta mentira?
