      The Prisoner of Zenda delivers high adventure, royal intrigue, and daring heroism in a tightly woven tale of mistaken identity and noble sacrifice. Anthony Hope drops readers into the fictional kingdom of Ruritania, where an English gentleman must impersonate a kidnapped king to save a crown and a country.

      Description

      The story begins when Rudolf Rassendyll, a well-bred Englishman on holiday in Ruritania, discovers that he bears an uncanny resemblance to the soon-to-be-crowned King Rudolf V. After the king is drugged and kidnapped on the eve of his coronation, Rassendyll agrees to impersonate him to prevent a coup led by the villainous Duke Michael. As he steps into royal shoes, Rassendyll must outwit traitors and navigate palace politics without revealing his true identity.

      As danger intensifies, Rassendyll finds himself falling in love with Princess Flavia, the king’s intended bride, complicating both his mission and his conscience. The adventure culminates in a daring rescue mission and a heartbreaking choice between love and duty. Hope keeps the pace swift and the stakes high, crafting a tale that blends political intrigue with noble ideals and gallant action.
