In the Varkas Kingdom, serious matters are handled with little dignity: revolutions are sparked by passion, and the fate of a missing princess is debated over beer. King Janek has failed to find his sister, so Prince Tadeusz of Zlotyn steps in. Heartbroken and pressured by a two-month deadline, he must find the princess and a bride in one go. Ella just wanted to enjoy tavern gossip, but instead met a mysterious stranger with golden curls and a suspicious smile. Tadeusz is a prince, Ella is no ordinary student, and fate has a wicked sense of humor. And yes—the prince will fall in love first. Hard, deep, and at the worst possible time.
