A case of mistaken identity triggers a reign of terror.

A Star Princess of Soleis, bound by tradition, is forced to fulfill an arrangement made prior to her birth. During the masque for her coronation, Oriana meets a handsome stranger, but soon finds out he is not who she thought.

Prince Lucian, unfamiliar with the treaties of the Universe, must restore the reputation of his world and prove his kingdom is not behind the attacks.

No one knew an innocent mistake could lead to the destruction of the solar system. Worlds are conquered, lives torn apart, and destruction reigns, while Oriana, unknowingly, holds the key to salvation.

Excerpt:
His grim expression twisting into his lopsided grin. “So, Oriana, do you want to build a snowman?” he asked.
　　Her black hair whipped around her face, stinging her skin along with the cold bitter winds. “What?”
　　“I said, do you want—”
　　“I heard what you said,” she stared up at his face being pelted with large flakes. The wind was so strong the snow flew at them sideways. “I just can’t tell if you’re serious.”
　　“Lighten up Oriana, you need to learn to have fun.”
　　“This isn’t the time for fun, Lucian.”
　　“There will always be a reason to be serious. You have to take the fun moments anytime you can.”
　　The wind slowed then stopped as she stood staring at him. Thankful, at the timing she shook her head, and stepped away from him, beginning the long trek through the snow.
　　THACK.
　　A clump of snow hit her in the back of the head. She spun around to see Lucian looking up at the sky. His hands clasped behind his back—the very picture of innocence. And he’d never looked more guilty.
