About The Emperor’s Expedition
When the Emperor of Jordinia tasks his two underachieving nephews to spearhead an expedition to the untamed North Isles, the impish and audacious Duke Andrew leaps at the chance to make history and stand out among his four brothers. While he manages to convince his reclusive brother Ludwig to join him, he is less enthusiastic about their sister tagging along.
Duchess Johannah, desperate to conceal her secret, out-of-wedlock pregnancy and evade courtly scandal, sees the expedition as the perfect ruse. Accompanied by their entourage of intrepid guards, the royal siblings set forth to conquer the wilderness…only to discover that the islands are already inhabited.
Amidst perilous clashes with the Northern clans, alliances are forged and fractured, loyalties waver, and forbidden love commands sacrifice as each explorer’s fealty to blood and country is put to the test. From an icy shipwreck to abductions, ambushes, and arranged marriages, nothing goes as planned in this fast-paced comedy of errors brimming with humor, heroics, and plenty of heart.
