In one week, Princess Ro’sa will board a
spaceship, leaving her home on Minjet to be with her betrothed on Earth. The
only problem is, she detests the prince’s selfish and arrogant ways, preferring
to spend time with his personal aide, a man who stirs her desires in ways she
never imagined possible with his radiant blue eyes and smouldering lips. And
oh, the way he touches her.
Earth’s post-apocalyptic landscape offers
little but the alliance offers much and a princess must do her duty, no matter
the danger to her person and to her heart.
Prologue
As the sun sets below the horizon, an old
man sits on a wooden bench at the edge of the park. Behind him lies the lush
Turtle Pond Woods, where the flora grows so thick it is difficult to trek
through without carving one’s own path. In front of the man, a crowd gathers as
if he has called them there to reveal a momentous secret.
The man with the long, gray beard and feet
dangling above the ground is a collector of stories. Dressed in woolen green
britches and a red shirt, he is ready to tell his tale.
He opens his eyes, enhancing the wrinkles
on his face. The people hush, waiting for him to speak, but he remains silent,
instead banging a long steel pipe on the ground. Upon the third tap, fireworks
burst into the sky behind him. Gold rains on the crowd, resembling coins rather
than sparks of light. It is nothing more than an illusion by the master
storyteller. The man raises his hands in the air, and the people quiet once
more, settling in front of him.
With his electric-blue pet tarantula in
his lap, the man speaks. “I am Nicodemus, and I have a tale to tell you, a
futuristic story of love and mistaken identity. You may have heard of The
Star Money by the Brothers Grimm. But in my version, the little girl was
not so little, and she was not born on Earth but arrived here from a planet
far, far away.
“So, this evening, for your listening
pleasure, I give you The Star Princess.
“Once upon a time, there was a young woman
named Ro’sa Ka. Though princess of Minjet of the Mintakan solar system, she
would soon leave the star system with her betrothed, a man she’d never met,
destined to marry and live on Earth. As nervous as she was about the union, the
prince arrived on the planet in far worse condition....”
