Summary
Petty warlords calling themselves the Maquis rise in rebellion against the crown and threaten to take a royal knight hostage. Her Royal Highness Kathryn of House Janeway, heir apparent of Kingdom Federa, sets off with a retinue of her most loyal household knights to settle the feud on her honour. Her quest is sidetracked, however, when a sorcerer who calls himself the Caretaker makes a demand Kathryn cannot meet. Furious, the Caretaker blasts Kathryn, her retinue, and her maquis opponents deep into the neighbouring territory ruled by the Borg Sorceress. The group finds itself stranded in those famously inescapable lands with only their wits, their courage, and Katheryn’s guidance to see them home.
What begins as a harrowing misadventure turns into a tale of daring chivalry when Her Highness of Janeway manages to liberate the Borg soldier, Seven of Nine, and welcomes her into the questing party. For all Seven’s contentiousness, Kathryn adamantly defends and protects her, and in time Seven comes to bestow chivalric fidelity upon Kathryn in return. They claim they are merely duty-bound to one another, but the line between loyalty and devotion is never less clear than when a knight doesn't want to see it.
