A science fiction story about politics, marriage, power, and maybe some adventures along the way. Prince Rimush leads a comfortable life as the captain of a battleship in the Raleighan Empire''''s fleet. His father, Emperor Dren, has a plan to marry him off to the less than personable Crown Princess Vanessa Varygoff of the kingdom of Vistha. Dren makes it clear that if this marriage is not successful, it is only a matter of time before Vistha and Raleigh enter another devastating war. Now it''''s up to Rimush to grin and bear the spoiled princess and her demands long enough to seal the deal.
