24 - Graustark by George Barr McCutcheon

from Graustark · host George Barr McCutcheon

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Graustark novels, where plots of courtly intrigue, clandestine romances, and royal disguises unfold. Comparable to Anthony Hopes acclaimed 1894 novel, The Prisoner of Zenda, these best-sellers from the past still command a captivating presence in used book shops. Theyve even inspired a unique genre known as Graustarkian, characterized by tales of love and intrigue set in fictional Central European countries. The tale begins with the tragic death of Graustarks ruler, Prince Ganlook, in a war with Axphain, leading to an onerous peace treaty. Graustark now owes a massive debt to Axphain, due with interest in fifteen years. (Summary from Wikipedia)
