Set against the backdrop of a post-war European landscape, the book revolves around themes of political intrigue, royal restoration, and the complexities of love and ambition, centering on the character Selden, a journalist with deep insights into the socio-political changes of the time. The narrative unfolds through the encounters of Selden with notable characters such as Countess Rémond and Baron Lappo, who navigate the tumultuous world of newfound republics and returning monarchies. At the start of the story, the protagonist, Selden, finds himself in the luxurious lounge of a Monte Carlo hotel, where he is approached by Countess Rémond, an enigmatic figure with memories of turmoil linked to a past assassination connected to her. Their conversation hints at deeper ambitions involving the recently liberated states of Central Europe and suggests that various players, including a former king and new revolutionary leaders, are interwoven in a web of personal and political aspirations. With the world around them filled with wealthy elites and faded nobility, the opening sets the stage for a tale of alliances and betrayals, firmly positioning Selden in a story where he becomes intricately involved with the characters’ dualities of virtue and deception.
