Princess Elisa is a disappointment to her people. Although she
bears the Godstone in her navel, a sign that she has been chosen
for an act of heroism, they see her as lazy and useless and fat. On
her sixteenth birthday, she is bartered off in royal marriage and
shipped away to a kingdom in turmoil, where her much-older-and
extremely beautiful-husband refuses to acknowledge her as his wife.
Devastated, Elisa decides to take charge of her fate and learn what
it means to bear the Godstone. As an invading army threatens to
destroy her new home, and everyone at court manoeuvres to take
advantage of the young princess, Elisa becomes convinced that, not
only is her own life in danger, the whole world needs saving. But
how can a young girl who has never ridden horseback, never played
the game of politics, and never attained the love of a man save the
world? Elisa can't be sure, but she must try to uncover the
Godstone's secret history before the enemy steals the destiny
nestled in her core.
