Prince Vernier Holst Wilhelm has just graduated from the Royal Prussian Military Academy as Lieutenants. As a son of the Kaiser, he's expected to serve well as a CO, and then attend the Prussian Staff College. The weight of Hohenzollern weighs heavily on his shoulders, and with Europe ripe to explode into war, he's more focused on the possibility of impending war with the British and French than anything else.

Princess Pina Co Lada is the young Commander of her Rose-Order of Knights. However, she is a woman in a world dominated by men. As the third daughter of the Emperor she is expected to be strong enough to fight, but weak enough to submit to a man. Forcing her to choose between her pride as a soldier and the will of her Emperor.

With their own troubles looming ahead of them. Neither expects to be thrown headfirst into a war they were not taught to fight and against an enemy they know nothing about. But when they are, it will take every skill, ally, and shred of strength they have to survive.
