Caro and Markos have settled into a routine: Wake up, eat breakfast, try to figure out who´s going to try to assassinate Markos today . . . so things aren´t exactly calm. Not only is Markos in constant danger, his claim to the Akhaian throne is largely unsupported by military strength, without which he doesn´t have a chance. Relief appears on the horizon in an unexpected form when a powerful Archon wants to side with Markos in his fight for the throne. But in exchange for an army, Markos must marry the Archon´s daughter. Of course, this cuts Caro out of the equation. Now they must decide which is more important: their love for each other or the fate of Akhaia.
