This eBook was created by Charles Aldarondo "If I Were King" by Justin H. McCarthy is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a tavern filled with rogues and vagabonds, centered around the character François Villon, a poet and outlaw who embodies a blend of wit, charm, and rebellious spirit. The story initiates with Villon and his companions navigating the social turmoil of 15th-century France, revealing themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for identity within a corrupt society. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the Fircone Tavern, describing its atmospheric mix of debauchery and camaraderie among its patrons. Villon is introduced as a charismatic figure, expressing his poignant thoughts on love and life through charming yet melancholy songs. As he captivates the crowd with his music, the tension escalates with the arrival of King Louis disguised as a commoner, keen to learn the sentiments of his subjects amidst the brewing unrest. The stage is set for a blend of humor, drama, and romance as Villon's aspirations intertwine with the fate of the kingdom, leading to an exciting adventure that challenges the notions of honor and loyalty.
