As intrigue swells in Willow Tree Castle and
back home in the royal capital, a young woman
intended to be a decoration and a marriage
trophy seems to have few resources to call on,
but Sasha has a wealth of stubbornness
and a few tricks up her embroidered sleeves.
While her older sister has their motherÕs poise
and fatherÕs reserve and her younger sister
combines the kingÕs love of books with the
queenÕs sharp and ruthless political wit,
Sasha inherited the family inclination for war.
