Jiran is a hotbed of competing nations. Shandro, Prince of the Penrhy tribe, disagrees with his father, Sovereign Pollack, on nearly every issue that arises between them. But his goal is to uphold the family values in spite of Pollack's conniving moves.Then he is sent on a mission across the mountains into Khandarken to bring back Princess Chinata, a bride for Emperor Carlton's Advisor. In exchange the Penrhy tribe is given a peace agreement, protection against invasion by the Emperor's troops. This seems a good trade, as Carlton is hovering on their borders with his need for more land. However, not far into the journey, it becomes apparent someone is not adhering to the terms of the peace accord.Near the border of Khandarken, Shandro and his troops have come under direct attack from unknown forces. He digs deeper into Chinata's background to find strong ties to the New Empire. Is it too dangerous to bring Princess Chinata into Jiran? Or as her escort, does Shandro become her defender against the Emperor's troops?
