| Summary |
"Kuningatar Dragan rakkausseikkailut ja Kuningas Aleksanterin onneton kohtalo" by Viktor von Falk is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a tumultuous period marked by political intrigue and dramatic personal conflicts centered around the Serbian monarchy. The story prominently features King Milan and his son, King Aleksanteri, alongside Queen Draga and other significant characters as they navigate love, betrayal, and the heavy burdens of royalty. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on the Sava River, where a mysterious cloaked figure, revealed to be King Milan, is determined to confront the impending marriage of his son to Draga Maschin, a woman he believes may bring ruin. As Milan navigates dark waters, desperate to save his son from what he perceives as a disastrous fate, the narrative introduces tensions between familial loyalty and romantic entanglements. The opening establishes a tense atmosphere filled with foreboding as characters grapple with the weight of their choices amidst impending celebrations that may soon lead to tragedy.
