Though the youngest of four princesses, her sisters conspire to send her, hoping to avoid the arranged marriage to the fearsome and rumored-to-be-tyrannical King Livius I. But Nike carries a secret power: the ability to summon rain. Upon her arrival, Nike discovers that King Livius I is not the monster she imagined, but a young boy, her junior by many years. This unexpected revelation sets the stage for a charming and unconventional romance as Nike navigates court politics, cultural differences, and her own feelings for the powerful, yet surprisingly vulnerable, ruler.
