✦ Synopsis

Queen Letitia of Melloria, the world's smallest absolute monarchy has had it with reigning and wants to escape to the Caribbean with her husband, King Godfrey. Godfrey resists, believing that monarchy is a job for life. Prince Catheter, the elder of two sons, would prefer to live with his soulmate, Lucinda Limehouse-Blewit, than become king, although he marries the beautiful Princess Dawna of Bulimia, a friendly neighboring monarchy. They quickly conceive a child, but the marriage begins to fall apart under Letitia's withering criticism of Dawna and Catheter's continuing liaison with Lucinda.
A fierce winter is followed by an uprising by the revolutionary People's Party, bent on setting up a people's republic. Letitia and her family are swept into a maelstrom. Imprisonment, escape, capture by the enemy kingdom of Slobodia, ruled over by the devilish King Slobodan, and the need to win a presidential election to regain power in Melloria drive the royals to the edge of despair.
Will they reach the promised land of fulfillment, helped by Princess Dawna's charisma, and what will become of King Godfrey's bastard son, Craig, raised by single-parent Sharon, a former chambermaid?
Passion, dramatic reversals and outrageous humor saturate this panoramic novel of a queen and her country in turmoil.
