About This Book

A restless traveler encounters a spirited young woman on a long train journey and soon becomes entangled in the affairs of a small, picturesque European principality. Political intrigue and romantic jeopardy follow: a princess is abducted, loyalties are tested, and the traveler and his companions undertake rescues, escapes, and daring confrontations that lead to imprisonment, covert missions, and a climactic struggle over succession. Scenes alternate between courtly life, rustic monasteries, and battlefield tension while a gradual courtship develops, resolving in reconciliation and an arranged union that restores order.
