Plot:
Set in an alternate reality, it’s modern day America but under the reign and rule of a descendant of George Washington, Prince Geoffrey, who is the sole heir and soon-to-be king of the United Kingdom of America. It’s twenty-first century America, but in this alternate history things are subtly different: Knights instead of the Secret-Service, swords have replaced guns, and there’s a rebel group bent on usurping the monarchy of the United Kingdom of America to turn it into a democracy…
The impetus for the story is the civil unrest that exists between the citizens and the monarchy. For many, there’s an unfairness that exists, an imbalance that has put the common person against the royalty of the United Kingdom of America. The civil unrest manifests in the rise of a rebel group that seeks to overthrow the authority of the monarchy and replace the monarchical leadership with a democratic republic, giving the power back to the people. The insurrection begins just as Prince Geoffrey is to be crowned the new King of America after the sudden passing of his father King George X.
