Welcome to the ancient land of Terra, where curses run rampant throughout all the kingdoms and where the royalty desperately attempt to break their curses and claim their own happily-ever-afters.

Lady Raina is sure she has found the man of her dreams. While caught up in a whirlwind romance, not only does her beloved mother pass away, so does the man she loves. Raina falls into the depths of sorrow which clouds her ability to see any good in her life and spends her days locked inside her room. When her father forces her to entertain suitors, Raina finds something wrong with each and every single one of them. After her father loses patience with her behavior, he proclaims that the next man, lord or commoner, who comes to their estate
will become her husband. Raina doubts her father's sincerity in the threat, that is, until she finds herself wed to a common pig farmer, traveling out of the kingdom inside a cart--all in one evening.

Prince Henry is comfortable with his place as the second Prince of Embra. His older brother is everything an Embran Prince should be, and everything Prince Henry is not. When he accompanies his brother on a trip to tour their kingdom before becoming crowned king, he can only think of traveling to the kingdom of Lune to be with the Lady he has been growing more in love with through their many letters. When Henry finally confesses his love to her, their correspondence stops, and he fears that the lady he loves does not return his feelings. But, when things in Embra get turned upside down because of a sudden loss, Henry must find a wife--as soon as possible. Becoming entangled in a web of deceit, that he is told will help him gain his happily-ever-after as well as save his kingdom--he isn't sure he has the strength to keep up the act, and keep his distance form the woman he loves most desperately.

Can love be found even in the most common of places?
