Minister Ravver is cursed: his wives are doomed to death. To hold office, he must remain the head of the clan, and only a married man can be the head of the clan. In the hope that the curse will not work on a girl from another world, Ravver agrees to marry a foreign woman. On Earth, Lena holds nothing, she dreams of meeting a noble knight and magic, and the aristocratic world in the style of the nineteenth century seems ideal to her. But they do not call Lena into a fairy tale: the local society is cruel to commoners, her husband has too many dangerous enemies, and she herself is in mortal danger if she succumbs to marriage charms that attract her to her husband. - sometimes absent-minded, sometimes funny, but noble, like a true gentleman.
