The marriage is a crushing blow to both Marie and Isabelle of Orleans, a French heiress and Leo’s promised fiancee. To create a stalemate a marriage has been arranged between Prince Leopold of Prussia and Princess Marie-Victoria of the empire.

Fantasy novels have certain outlines that are always followed.
