The king had imprisoned a young man, a mere commoner in his court, in his castle dungeon because of the man's relationship with his daughter, the princess. Now the king is forcing the young man to make a choice that will separate him from the beautiful princess, and alter the course of his life forever. This book contains black and white pictures. The story is a page-turner filled with excitement and surprises.
