Cain Asbell was an unremarkable man until he rescued Princess Charlotte. He rises from pauper to Lord, but there is a catch. Cain must make his land the most prosperous in the country within 5 years. If he fails, he will lose everything. But if he succeeds, Cain will win Princess Charlotte's hand in marriage. During his quest for success, he faces slavers and bandits. But being a Lord isn't all bad -- he has the right to choose any woman he wants to go to bed with him.
