A young girl finds glamour, adventure, and the romance of her dreams – but fate threatens her love and her life!

For lovely Tona Felton, it’s a dream come true – a trip aboard the gleaming, luxurious Balkans Express to a tiny storybook country. But when her pocketbook is stolen, she is left alone and penniless… until a handsome stranger offers her aid. And, in the quiet elegance of his private railway car, he offers her even more – a lifetime of love.

And Tona responds with a passion she’s never known – until, after one intoxicating night in his arms, she awakes to find him gone. Only later will she discover that her lover was a king – and that as war clouds gather over the Balkans, she will be plunged into a battle to save a country – and her love!
