But when the prince offers her his finest knight, Silas, as a gift of protection, things begin to muddle. The knight, with a sworn duty to protect her with his life, and the threat of his own beheading if he steps out of line... The princess, smart, gentle, and the first to show him genuine kindness, yet promised to another... As they grow close, they uncover secrets about themselves that they never even imagined.
