[Amby Awards 2023 Winner!] "Failure is often the nobler choice-but pride will keep us from seeing it." Erzsebet, the eldest daughter of Count Peter of Szerem, is struggling under the weight of expectation. Her duty is to find a good husband, one who would both strengthen her family's position and secure her future. Unfortunately, she would prefer to do just about anything else, rather than wed some pompous lord whose only interest in her comes from her father's rank. Things become all the more complicated when she learns that a powerful lord will soon be coming to visit her father's fortress-along with his eldest son, of marrying age. As a woman who values her freedom above all else, will she be able to refuse the young lord's hand without hurting her family's position? Or is there a chance that she could find true love amid all this political intrigue?
