Princess Altagracia has lost everything. After a bloody civil war her twin sister has claimed not just the crown of their planet Szayet but the Pearl of its prophecy a computer that contains the immortal soul of their god. Stripped of her birthright Altagracia prepares to flee the planet - just as Matheus Ceilha Commander of the interstellar Empire of Ceiao arrives in deadly pursuit. Princess Altagracia sees an opportunity to win back her planet her god and her throne . . . if she can win over the Commander and his distrustful right-hand officer Anita.
But talking her way into Commander Matheus's good graces and his bed is only the beginning. Dealing with the most powerful man in the galaxy is almost as dangerous as war and Altagracia is quickly torn between Matheus and the wishes of the machine god that whispers in her ear.
For Szayet's sake and her own Altagracia will need to become more than a princess with a silver tongue. She will have to become a queen as history has never seen before - even if it breaks an empire.
