THE PROUD PRINCESS

Having survived the 1871 siege of Paris with her mother the Queen of Dabrozka, Princess Ilona is summoned back to the war-ravaged kingdom of her father, a tyrannical monarch whose unjust rule has divided the nation into two factions: her own Radák people and the Sáros. Worse still, Russia threatens to march on Dabrozka to impose its iron-clad style of order.Only Ilona can save her country from this fate, by making a terrible sacrifice. At the Prime Minister’s request, she must marry the Prince of Sáros, their union bringing together the country. This she will do, but what her pride will not allow her is to love the aloof, indifferent prince. Humiliated by the prince’s evident disregard, and beaten by her own father on the eve of her wedding, it seems that love will never fill her heart. As warclouds gather over Dabrozka, both the prince and the proud princes are about to share a dramatic change of heart.
