Mardi Volume 1 Chapter 72 - Something more of the Prince

In which the ancient chronicles of Mohi recount a fierce fraternal strife for the throne of Juam, steeped in rites and oracles that bind kings to the shadowed glen of Willamilla, from which none may freely roam. Here, the young Donjalolo confronts the heavy crown of sovereignty, torn between the yearning for liberty beyond the cave and the solemn weight of royal duty that seals his fate.
