As the king ages, the country waits to hear which of the brothers will be made king. His half-brother Michael (a Duke) is a horrible person who commits his various crimes and misdemeanors in private. The prince of Ruritania, Rudolf Elphberg (hereafter referred to as Rudolf E.) is a horrible person who commits his various crimes and misdemeanors in public. The names and the basic premise are from A Prisoner of Zenda. On the way to the ending there is swashbuckling, double and triple crossing, intrigue, a moat, a castle, smart women, and hot sex. It looks like a m/m romance, and to a certain degree it is, but it has a more unconventional ending than most romances (I’ll address that in more detail later). Charles outdoes herself with The Henchmen of Zenda, a retelling of the 1894 pulp classic The Prisoner of Zenda from a secondary character’s point of view.
