About This Book
A young prince learns from a ghost that his father was murdered and confronts betrayal within the royal household, adopting an appearance of madness while he seeks proof and prepares a staged play to unmask the suspected killer. Secret intrigues, accidental killings, and the unraveling of personal relationships escalate toward a poisoned duel that causes multiple deaths among rulers, heirs, and close associates. The work explores revenge, the tension between appearance and reality, moral uncertainty, and how grief and ambition corrode individuals and the political order.
