As a minor member of the Greek Royal Family in exile in England, beautiful young Princess Giona knows her Fate only too well. One day she is to marry for duty to her country rather than for love. But to her horror, destiny comes calling far too soon when by Queen Victoria’s Royal Command she must marry the ageing and unpleasant King of the Balkan State of Slavonia in order to prevent it being swallowed up by its powerful neighbours, Austria and Germany. Arriving at the Capital City of Slavonia to meet her Royal suitor, she is horrified by his rudeness and contempt for his people – even as they take Giona to their hearts. But on the Royal Train, Giona has a thrilling encounter in the dark with a mystery man, who she saves from capture and execution by the Royal Guards. Could this man be the so-called pretender to the throne she has heard whispered about secretly, the revered ‘Invisible One’? Departing as mysteriously as he arrived, he promises, as she has saved his life, that he will rescue Giona if she ever needs him and her position in Slavonia becomes impossible to bear. When the old King reveals his true brutal nature, Giona sends for ‘The Invisible One’ and soon she has lost her heart to this gentle revolutionary, who is actually called Miklōs, Slavonia’s rightful ruler, and who soon will crown her with love if his revolution proves to be successful and it only can be with Giona’s help.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
AUTHOR’S NOTEMacedonian is a South Slavic language, one of the State languages of what became Yugoslavia, used principally in the People’s Republic of Macedonia. In the mid-1960s it was spoken by about one million native speakers, including a sizable population in South-Western Bulgaria and Northern Greece. Macedonian serves about three hundred thousand Albanians and Turks who live in Yugoslavia. The language has nothing to do with the Macedonian of Classical antiquity, which had long since been replaced by Greek, probably a closely related language originating from when the Slavs overran the area and settled there permanently in the seventh century. The records start with the earliest Old Church Slavonic manuscripts (tenth-eleventh centuries), whose language betrays local Macedonian features not generally thought to have been characteristic of the ninth century Thessalonian dialect on which Saints Cyril and Methodius presumably based their writings. From the late twelfth century, Macedonians wrote in the standardised types of artificial Slavonic used, with minor variations, by all Orthodox South Slavs. While a slightly more popular style appears in a few seventeenth century translations, no text approximating to the spoken language is known before about I790.
