The emperor of the land is getting old and therefore changes are in the horizon. Lord Trikan can hardly wait for the emperor to be out of the way so the war can start. For his children however, the thought of a war seems distant. Lord Trikan's younger son Veiden is conflicted when he realizes he has developed feelings for a girl his father won't approve, and the summer is a battle between his sense of duty and pursuit of happiness. Lord Trikan's foster daughter Miria is accustomed to getting her way - this trait has landed her in trouble before, but even a disgraceful banishment from the imperial court hasn't dampened her will. When the opportunity comes, she's ready to cast away any caution and go after what she wants. * * * Dream of Love in the Summer is the first book of a quadrilogy.
