The Prince Ivan gazed down at Lokita's upturned face, then gently bent his head as his lips found hers.
It was as if he asked her to to allow her soul to become his.
Lokita had never experienced such feeling, such power. It was so compelling, so glorious, so brilliant--it grew in them both until it was like the blazing heat of the sun, and they stood in the center of it.
"This is love," thought Lokita. She wanted to cry the words out loud, to dance at the glory and rapture of them.
But the Prince held her close, captive against him, kissing her with the wild intensity of a man who has come back to life from the dead....

In 1867 Paris, passionate Russian Prince Ivan Volkonski is captivated by a mysterious modern dancer. Lokita performs her own unique dances that directly convey emotions to audiences, but she speaks to no one and promptly departs the theatre cloaked in secrecy. The persistent Prince orchestrates a ruse just to meet her, and perceiving her interest in Russian culture, promises to give a "Russian" party for her the next day.
Lokita grew up in social isolation, cared for by servants. Her loving English father visited rarely, her Russian mother never - her very existence had to be kept secret, and no one would tell her why! Financial difficulties after her father's death forced her loving servants to reluctantly allow her to go onstage, but when Prince Ivan manages to meet her, they must whisk her away!
