Prince Kiem is a minor royal of the Empire, the least favorite grandson of the Empress. He is about to be married to Count Jainen, a treaty to keep the outlying planets in line. Their marriage is one of the items to get in line before the Empire renews a Resolution with the alien species that keeps them from being invaded by neighbors.
Neither Prince Kiem nor Coutn Jainen want to be married, but understand it is their duty. To add pressure to a new couple who had never met before, there is a conspiracy and a plot to sabotage the Resolution.
Maxwell's novel is everything you could want in a space opera or in a romance story. A great read!
