T’pring is the soon to be queen of New Vulcan. Her people have been scattered and displaced, and it’s only thanks to the gods that the princess and her ill mother survived the fall of Vulcan. Her mother is sick, and the remaining nobility on Vulcan are either to old or to young to be an eligible partner. At her mother’s request (an order, actually) T’pring is set to be engaged to the newly elected ruler of Terra. A woman whose intelligence is feared, and who many have sought after for her hand in marriage. 
Spock is the personal body for Princess T’pring. He’s quick, silent, and dangerous. But he’s also her only friend. He’s the shadow she never sees, and as her personal guard it is his duty to lay down his life for her if necessary. Spock has already lost everything, so what’s his life compared to the death of his mother and his planet? 
Uhura is the newly elected ruler of Terra after a long and tiring four year campaign. She’s surrounded by her enemies, and feels increasingly isolated as the stress of her job beings to mount. It’s a position she’s never wanted, but she refuses to back down from it. She (or her advisors) have arranged for her to marry the displaced future queen of New Vulcan. She leaves in a few weeks, and only hopes her bodyguard won’t embarrass her. 
Kirk is an Section 31 member (or so he says) who does everything in his power to make sure Uhura doesn’t get killed. Or hurt. Both. No one really knows much about his backstory other than the fact that his father used to be a captain of Terra’s most treasured starship before he died. He’s more like a little brother than a bodyguard, but in a sea full of enemies Kirk is the only person she trusts.
