Elizabeth knows she can't marry for love. As the future queen, she is engaged against her will to the arrogant future king, Prince Alexander. Resigned to her fate, she desperately tries to bury her feelings for Prince William, Alexander's charming younger brother. But when the king gives William a chance at the throne, Elizabeth gets her chance at love. The king has decreed that Elizabeth's choice of husband, not the princes' birth order, will determine who becomes king. The only requirement she must first fulfill is to spend a year at the castle getting to know the princes better. While at the castle, Elizabeth encounters surprises that leave the path to love far less straightforward than she anticipated.
