Months have passed since the escape of Edwardo. As Caterina and Demetri get ready for their wedding, and the birth of King Frederick's firstborn, they realize that Edwardo and his grandfather are up to their old tricks. A threatening letter brings about early labor and a little princess. Princess Elizabeth Clarisse Peterson, daughter of Frederick and Natalia Peterson, gets kidnapped just a day after her birth. Caterina leaves the castle after her brother snaps at her, going to search for her niece, and finds out that life is more complicated than she thought. Will Daniel and Edwardo get what they deserve? Will Elizabeth get returned to her parents? Will Caterina and Demetri finally get married? What lies beyond the mysterious island hideout? Caterina, Demetri, Frederick, and Daniel Marquis Junior (Edwardo's grandfather) each give us varying views on the kidnapping and possible rescue of the baby princess. And then, it all goes downhill from there.
