    About this ebook

    Timi the IV has joined his ancestors. A new king must be crowned. But who shall be made king? For the late king has no seed. But against the olden order, the people want Tuaton, a fisherman with good report. But can this be? For Duadogi, uncle of the late king eyes the throne. This is the conflict; that the few seek to deny the people of their choice because he is no citizen of the land. Thus, they lobby and in bribery they bid but all to no avail. And when it becomes clear that their bidding beat no fruit, the desire to poison the ACT of the Chief of the king-makers. One man with a secret only known by the beast. Koko, the chief of the king-maker, wisest of all, must keep his secret against the people. But must the people live to see villainy simply because an anus is brown? The play shall tell.
