The Puppet Crown

(1901)

To the Memory of that Good Friend and Comrade of My Youth, My Father.

The city of Bleiberg is humming with unrest. The public’s discontent with Leopold the puppet King is further fueled by traitors and self interested courtiers and the vengeful Duchess of Auersperg is orchestrating a war against the King. A chance meeting brings young handsome American diplomat Maurice Carewe, face to face with his friend, English millionaire Lord John Fitzgerald. While Maurice fights for the love of beautiful Princess Alexia, Lord Fitzgerald surrenders to the captivating Madame Sylvia Amerbach. Caught up in a tangled web of intrigue, cunnings and veiled allurements, each man’s love, honor and friendship is put to the ultimate test.--Submitted by Nassrin Moghadam

Ah Love! Could you and I with Him conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire
Would not we shatter it to bits—and then
Re-mold it nearer to the Heart’s desire!—Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
