The book explores the life of King John of Jingalo, a monarch portrayed as well-meaning yet ineffectual, grappling with the burdens of a constitutional crisis and the pressures of modern governance. It highlights his relationships, particularly with his wife and son, while exposing the disconnect between his royal duties and the realities faced by his subjects. The opening of the story provides a glimpse into the domestic life of King John and Queen Alicia, detailing their morning routine and the contrast between their personalities. The King is depicted as anxious and overburdened by his role, struggling to connect with the political realities of his kingdom, while the Queen is portrayed as more grounded and content in her social responsibilities. The narrative hints at a brewing constitutional crisis that challenges John's understanding of his position and governance. As he prepares for a Council meeting, he wrestles with feelings of incompetence and isolation, setting the stage for the unfolding political drama and the exploration of his character's development throughout the novel.
