In the politically charged country of Bunolle, Zachary Woodbine's life spirals into chaos as he becomes entangled in royal rivalries that will test friendships, loyalty, and morality.
Finding himself in the vibrant yet treacherous atmosphere of Bunolle, English ex-pat Zachary Throat Woodbine, discovers a country steeped in intrigue and royal ambition. Initially enjoying life with his close-knit group of carefree friends, Throat's fate takes a dark turn when he captures a compromising moment involving a royal prince that thrusts him into a perilous alliance.
Drawn into the prince's dangerous orbit, and now an unwitting pawn in the murky schemes of the royal household, Throat's moral compass wavers, leading to tensions that threaten to tear his friendships apart. And, as rivalries intensify in the relentless pursuit of the throne by another princely challenger, Throat must confront his own demons and the choices that have led him down a path of moral decay.
As friendships fracture and loyalties are tested, Throat embarks on a journey to reclaim his lost sense of self, ultimately questioning what truly matters in a life filled with shadows and uncertainty. But, in a world where morality is a shifting landscape, can he break free from this royal game for a chance at redemption?
