Plot Summary of The Jester of Corona
"Before Lord Thomas destroyed it, the golden city of Corona was a safe haven for everyone. Now it is up to a humble young jester, Edward, to reclaim the city and end the misery of his fellow peasants. For the past several years, Edward has secretly studied dangerous knowledge that will help him overthrow Lord Thomas. But when he discovers a conspiracy against the throne, he must abandon his precious plans and face a far greater challenge: proving that the king's favorite knight is really his most treacherous enemy. But who will believe a jester? Relying on nothing but his own cunning, Edward must outwit his enemies, overcome deadly hardships, avoid Lord Thomas' lethal sword, and still find some way to rescue Corona!"
Megan Emily Asad, Resident Scholar
