At sixteen years of age, Jovinda is to be presented to the Royal Family. She fantasizes about catching the eye of Prince Gerim and becoming Queen, but her fantasies evaporate when she meets a young elf called Noli.
The pair fall in love, but parental opposition, mainly because of their different lifespans, leads them to meet in secret, despite warnings of severe repercussions from Jovinda's family.
But can the young lovers overcome the opposition of their parents?

A CLASH OF CULTURES
A special messenger delivered the letter. Jovinda’s father took it into his study to open it, but Jovinda saw the Royal seal pressed into the wax. She longed to rush in to her father and ask him why the King was sending him messages. Her eyes kept straying to the door, hoping he would soon come and let them all know what the message said. But she had to wait until after the evening meal before he revealed what the letter contained.
As soon as they finished eating, her father took both Jovinda and her mother into his study. Looking at his daughter he waved the letter. Is this why you’ve been so restless, Jo?
He grinned, lifted his glasses onto his nose and read it to them.
King Frome I has the pleasure of inviting Guildmaster Kendo, his wife, Ellire, and daughter, Jovinda, to a reception and ball at the Palace to welcome the Trade Delegation from Rindissillaron to Grosmer.
On Kassidar 10 at the 14th hour of the day.
Jovinda’s eyes opened wide and she clapped her hands. I’m invited to the banquet as well?
She could hardly believe it.
You’re sixteen now, Jo,
Ellire said. It’s time you went to be presented at court.
Her father smiled at her excitement, running his hands through his auburn hair, so like Jovinda’s own. All the leaders of the guilds and their families will be there. As part of my family, and a young lady now of age, you are included.
Although not of the nobility, as the supreme leader of all the guilds in Bluehaven, Kendo would be involved in any trade treaties that might be signed between Grosmer and Rindissillaron, the elven homeland. This banquet was of great importance.
Ellire smoothed the skirts of her dress as she stood. This is a big occasion, Jo. Tomorrow we’ll go to the dressmaker and choose some fabric and a style for your dress.
Jovinda could hardly keep still. To go to the Royal Palace in Aspirilla. To meet the King and his family. Her eyes shone and she turned to her mother as she spoke.
What colour do you think I should wear? What kind of fabric? Should I have an elaborate dress or a simple style? What will the other girls being presented wear?
Ellire laughed at her daughter’s excitement. Kassidar is spring, but it can still be cold. We’ll need to be aware of that in choosing something. A dress with short sleeves in case it’s warm, but with a jacket or shawl you can put on if it turns cool later in the evening. The banquet is only five sixdays away. There will be a lot of people wanting clothes.
She paused and wrinkled her brow. We’ll go to Madame Frimb.
Jovinda pressed her hand against her mouth. Madame Frimb? But she’s the most expensive dressmaker in Bluehaven.
Kendo put his arm round her. Nothing but the very best will be good enough for my daughter’s first banquet and ball.
Jovinda rushed up the stairs, nearly tripping over the skirts of her dress in her excitement. She must go and tell her best friend, Salor that she was going to the Palace.
Jovinda’s parents had booked rooms at the Swan in Flight in Aspirilla, the capital of Grosmer. The city stood on an island, known as Holy Isle, because all the churches of the various gods had their headquarters there. The legendary King Sauvern had chosen this place for his capital. He united the warring kings, creating the land of Grosmer. What had once been separate kingdoms were now the six dukedoms of the country.
The landlord of this expensive inn behaved more like the host of a large country house. He treated his customers as important guests and greeted them all personally.
Welcome to The Swan in Flight, Guildmaster Kendo. Madam Ellire, we are delighted to have you stay with us. And Miss Jovinda, too. Is this your first time in Asperilla, Miss?
Jovinda blushed at being singled out. "Y-Yes. I’ve been
