Long before the time of Chivalry Farseer, there was another exemplary member of the royal line. Princess Caution Farseer, despite her name, was persistent and headstrong, destined to dangerously fall in love where she should not.

The child she bore, a Witted youth known as the Piebald Prince, stood out despite his questionable origins. However, the dukes of the Six Duchies backed Canny Farseer for the throne. Thus, both young men vied for power… But that was not their only struggle: they both fell in love with the same lady. This rivalry could only end in bloodshed…

A tale of love and secrets, magic and manipulation, grief and murder truly gruesome: only a true storyteller can reveal the real story of the Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince.
