Francesco was fifteen when Maria came to work for his family. She was a great maid for him. Sometimes Maria brought her young daughter Tommelise with her. He is five years older than Tommelise and watched her blossom into a beautiful young woman.
Tommelise starts working as a bartender at the young age of twenty-two. One cold winter night, her car wouldn’t start after her shift. One of her regulars Mrs. Tudse, who looked like a toad, offered her a ride home. But Tommelise never makes it home.
She is kidnapped by one family after another—each person wanting something out of her. From being a slave to wanting a marriage, Tommelise cannot get away to return to her mother and the life she was taken from.
Out of Desperation to get Tommelise back, Maria goes to Francesco Mignolina, the man who she works for help. Furious to learn that Tommelise is missing, Francesco sends Efron Fugl to search for her. Efron delivers the bad news that Tommelise is to be married to Bayard Muldvarp.
Since his father is pressuring him to marry and take over the family Francisco decides he needs to act fast. He wants Tommelise to be his wife, not someone else’s. He needs to stop Bayard Muldvarp from marrying Tommelise, and he will start a war if he has to.
