Lia ist die älteste Tochter im Königshaus Morrighan. Gerade mal 17 Jahre alt, soll sie mit einem Prinzen verheiratet werden, den sie noch nie in ihrem Leben gesehen hat. Doch die Prinzessin entscheidet sich, ihr bisheriges Leben hinter sich zu lassen. Sie flieht und heuert weit entfernt von zu Hause in einer Taverne an. Dort lernt sie zwei Männer kennen, die sofort ihre Aufmerksamkeit erregen. Was sie nicht weiß: Beide sind auf der Suche nach ihr. Einer wurde ausgesandt, um die Königstochter zu töten.

Lia wird in den Palast von Venda verschleppt und muss um ihr Leben fürchten. Eine Flucht wäre der einzige Ausweg, scheint jedoch unmöglich. Stattdessen setzt sie alles daran, sich im Palastleben zurechtzufinden. Sie hat längst ihr Herz verloren und auch erfahren, wer der Mann, den sie liebt, wirklich ist. Doch Gut und Böse sind nicht eindeutig verteilt. Denn auch der Mann, der eigentlich ihr Feind sein müsste, stellt sich plötzlich ein ums andere Mal auf ihre Seite. Warum?

Während sie Rafe schweren Herzens zurücklässt und einer ungewissen Zukunft entgegenreitet, quälen sie viele Fragen. Kann sie es schaffen, den drei Königreichen Morrighan, Venda und Dalbreck endlich Frieden zu bringen?

Lia und Rafe konnten aus Venda fliehen, doch verletzt und durchgefroren liegt ein ungewisser Weg vor ihnen. Während sie Rafes Heimat, dem Königreich Dalbreck, Stunde um Stunde näherkommen, spürt Lia, dass sie schon viel zu lang weit weg ist von Morrighan, ihrem Zuhause. Dabei deutet alles darauf hin, dass das Land kurz vor einem Krieg steht. Und obwohl Rafe ihr eine Zukunft als Königin an seiner Seite verspricht, ahnt Lia, dass sie ihrer Bestimmung folgen muss.
