A tale of passion unfolds against a backdrop of war as a beautiful and mysterious princess becomes the object of affection for three very different men -- a powerful duke, a brave general and a lowly slave. As passions spark and egos clash, lives will be ruined, and lovers will be spurned, and no one will ever be the same. (official distributor synopsis)
