Book 1 | Royalty and Commonalty Series
Edward Cromwell II, the king of Pigeoda, is a clever man who believes he can bring his kingdom prosperity. With his intelligence, no doubt he can. Although can he make it possible with his subjects on the verge of rebelling?
Jupiter, a soldier from Pigeoda's army, is made of the traumas from his past. The eventful life he left behind had altered him into a different person, a person with an identity crisis. Long gone is the time to embrace his inner woman, he believes.
Add getting assigned a sentry to the king after saving him from attempted murder to his baggage. Compelled to live as a shadow of the man, Jupiter sees people suffering at the hands of the indifference of their king and decides to stick by in hope that the king would wisen up. After all, Rumi once said - "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
Will the king change for the good or things would take a turn for the worse when Jupiter's real self unveils?
