The Queen of a Foreign World

The Kingdom of Moebius is losing a seven-year war against the mighty Kaimiar Empire, risking its existence as a state. King Just takes a desperate step and makes a blood alliance with the enemies: he gives his only daughter, nineteen-year-old Gabriella, in marriage to Shan, the young emperor of the Kaimiar, who has just ascended to the throne. The future heir must forever secure the Kingdom of Moebius from invasions. The princess does not expect happiness from this marriage. But Shan turns out to be not the kind of man that frightened female imagination had painted. Trust begins to grow between them, and later an unexpected and vivid feeling for both. Can the emperor's love protect the young queen from the hatred, lies, and revenge of a hostile people? How will his past affect their relationship, and why will not only Gabriella's happiness be at stake, but her very life as well?
