Set in a fantastical world of rival kingdoms, this story follows Nike Lemerchier, the fourth princess of the Rain Dukedom, who carries a rare and extraordinary gift — the ability to summon rain at will. When her homeland arranges a political marriage to secure its future, Nike Lemerchier finds herself bound for the mighty Sun Kingdom, destined to become the bride of its ruler, Livius I Orvinus Ifrikia — a monarch whose military prowess allowed him to bring the entire world under his reign within a mere three years. Reluctant but dutiful, Nike Lemerchier sets out on a journey that will take her far from everything she has ever known. What awaits her in the Sun Kingdom is something she could never have anticipated, and her life as a royal bride promises to be anything but ordinary.
