The King's Equal
What's The King's Equal About
Prince Raphael is as rich and as handsome as a prince should be. He is also arrogant, greedy, and selfish. Knowing Raphael to be an unfit ruler, the dying king decrees that his son shall not wear his crown until he marries a woman who equals him in appearance, intelligence, and wealth. Then a magic wolf brings Rosamund, the daughter of a poor farmer, to the castle. The prince and his advisors - amazed by Rosamund’s cleverness and beauty - joyfully pronounce her the king’s equal. But the story is not as simple as that. For not only must Rosamund be Raphael’s equal - Raphael must be hers.
