Princess Adriana from the Empire of the Sword is having a bad week - She developed a freckle, and everyone around her seems to be freaking out about it. No more racing (figurative or literal) around the Rim of Terran space for her, she's being hustled home to deal with 'internal problems.' Before the story unwinds, she's discovered that (of course) there are dragons troubling her empire, and worse, she's one of them. And did we mention that she's suddenly already married?...
