When healer Aurelia discovers Liora is pregnant with triplets, misunderstandings threaten the unborn children before Cassian intervenes. Liora and Cassian grow closer despite class prejudice, palace intrigue, and Sabine Wintermere's jealousy.

A marriage originally entered into as a practical arrangement becomes a genuine commitment, and the couple finally reveals the truth to Aurelia.
