Deze serie volgt de onverwachte reis van een jonge vrouw van Japanse afkomst die haar koninklijke afkomst in Japan ontdekt. Ze moet de complexiteit van het overbruggen van twee culturen aanpakken en haar plaats vinden binnen een wereld van traditie en verwachtingen. Het is een boeiend verhaal over zelfontdekking, romantiek en ergens bij horen, gesitueerd tegen de achtergrond van weelderige paleizen en ingewikkeld hofleven.
After learning that her father is the Crown Prince of Japan, Izumi travels to Tokyo, where she discovers that Japanese imperial life--complete with designer clothes, court intrigue, paparazzi scandals, and a forbidden romance with her handsome but stoic bodyguard--is a tough fit for the outspoken and irreverant eighteen-year-old from northern California.
