An enigmatic young woman in conflict - torn between reason and passion; between her woman's body and being raised as a prince; between the ancient and... modern worlds and between the brilliance of her educated mind and the conservative forces around her.

She finds sanctuary and love with her lady-in-waiting, the beautiful and elegant, countess Ebba Sparre, although the Chancellor, Axel Oxenstierna, pressures her to pair with his son, Johan.
