A dark warlord. A middle aged handmaiden. A stubborn princess. The warlord has plans for the dainty young future-queen. As an indentured servant to the princess for much of her life, Mirella sees the conquest of the land as an opportunity to elevate herself. A life of callous disregard has made her hard, but as she battles the princess' will for the first time and finds new allies and friends, does she have what it takes to win the love and favour of the brutal conqueror? Or will her station in life yet again be her undoing?
