The beautiful miller's daughter is put into a very sticky situation by her well-meaning, but proud father. Her university education is abruptly cut short when she is thrown into a dungeon, with no library, internet connection or canteen facilities. Some one unusual and unexpected comes to her rescue and he is not two feet tall with a silly name. In fact there are no names in the book at all - just to make life more difficult. As if life wasn't difficult enough as it was.
