About This Book

A respected noble encounters three prophetic figures whose predictions ignite his ambition; encouraged by his wife, he murders the sovereign and seizes the throne. Guilt and paranoia follow, producing visions, sleeplessness, and increasing tyranny that alienate allies. Rebellion gathers against his rule, bloodshed proliferates, and the initial crime's moral and political consequences culminate in the leader's fall and the restoration of order.
