Description

Sasha, a rationalist duke's daughter, is engaged to Alexei, the crown prince renowned as a legendary swordmaster. Behind closed doors, however, he's hopelessly dim-witted and obsessed with physical training. She's spent years managing his public image in secret until her stepsister Nastya arrives with prophetic dreams, suddenly branding Sasha a villainess in court. Convinced she's ruining Alexei's reputation, Sasha attempts to break the engagement and replace herself with the saintly Nastya. Yet Alexei stubbornly refuses to let her go—for reasons he can't quite articulate. What follows is a tangle of misunderstandings between a composed young woman and a oblivious prince who has no grasp of her feelings.
