About This Book

A lonely young heir escapes ceremonial court life and slips into the wider world in search of freedom and companionship. His wanderings lead to personal adventures, friendships, risky exploits, and a pilgrimage that unfold against rising political unrest and secret plots surrounding the succession. Senior courtiers confront age, duty, and the limits of protection while committees and conspirators test loyalties. Encounters with ordinary people and a close female companion force difficult choices about love, honor, and responsibility, and events culminate in crisis and change for both the sovereign and the heir.
