Crown Prince Sultan Qurayshi has just expressed his support for the king's new political reforms despite the wishes of many of the royal family who want the king stripped of his power. After submitting an emergency clause to the legislature, the crown prince ensures the king retains all his newly-founded powers of legislature and presidency, officially suspending democracy.

Two months later amid chaos in the kingdom, Faisal Qurayshi, a member of the Royal Strategic Committee, receives an urgent call from his cousin to escape the country with his son, Mansour. A short time later after the king dies and Mansour's great uncle ascends the throne, the family is reunited and seemingly all is well—until Mansour agrees to go undercover as a spy. After he eventually becomes a civil engineer whose mission is to help the royal family learn ways to transform the country and make it better for everyone, he uncovers corruption in the kingdom and Arlandica and soon realizes that good always defeats evil wherever it hides.

In this novel inspired by true events, a prince goes undercover in the Kingdom of Terra Qurayshia where he must keep his identity secret to help the royal family create a better monarchy.
