Love sweeps her off her feet in the enchanting form of Sir Holbrook, the third son of a duke. But with no property to inherit, the knight can offer the princess little more than his devotion. This quandary is of no concern to Sabrina's father, King Roderick, who has already arranged a political marriage for Sabrina to a foreign prince. Fettered by duty, Sabrina voyages across the sea to wed the future king and soon becomes a widow among a rustic people whose culture appeals little to her.
