Description

In a restless island kingdom, the sudden death of a beloved monarch throws Cyprus into a dangerous uncertainty. Two royal sisters, Elise and Alcione, find themselves at the center of a tangled web of duty and desire, each expected to inherit the throne while a contested marriage could seal the realm’s future. Amid the intrigue, the daring pirate‑prince Orosmane, known as the Prince Corsair, becomes both a hopeful lover and a political pawn whose ambition threatens to reshape the balance of power.

As courtiers whisper and secret documents surface, the sisters must decide whether to obey a hidden will that binds them to a marriage with the celebrated warrior Amintas, or to follow their own hearts. Their choices ripple through a court already divided by rival factions and the looming threat of war. Listeners are drawn into a vivid tableau of love, loyalty, and the fragile line between personal longing and the demands of a crown.

Paul Scarron

1610–1660

A sharp, playful voice in 17th-century French literature, this poet, dramatist, and novelist helped shape the burlesque style and left his biggest mark with The Comic Novel. His work brought theatrical energy, parody, and a lively eye for everyday life into French writing.
