A young man sits upon Kallondona's throne. He plays many roles for his countrymen. To his citizens, he appears to be a detestable, drunken king. To his enemies, he is a master thief with a ruthlessness that has earned him his own thief guild. The king is an enigma. Thief. Beggar. Witless Fool. Tactician. Damned King. Betrayer. Liar. Lover. But which of these titles matches the man behind the crown? What if the kingdom's greatest defender and tactician is none other than the witless, naive fool who rests on the throne? However, if this is the truth, can the king keep the charade, or will the act come crumbling down in the face of hate and grief? Appearances can be deceiving, a motto Kallondona's king strives to prove.
