At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is tense as Louis grapples with his fears regarding his son’s intentions, the weight of kingship, and the pervasive distrust he holds towards those around him, including his own long-standing confidant, Philip de Commines. As the king's thought processes unfold, the reader witnesses his emotional struggles and cunning plans.
