Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Prince to Order" by Charles Stokes Wayne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with an American man named Carey Grey who wakes up in a Paris hotel, disoriented and with no memory of how he ended up there or what has happened in the last five months. As Grey grapples with his mysterious circumstances and his altered appearance, he uncovers shocking truths about his past and some troubling connections that may link him to a larger, convoluted plot involving his identity and a royal throne. The opening of the novel presents a gripping scenario as Grey struggles to understand his sudden transformation and the mystery of his disappearance. He remembers a night at the opera and visits to clubs and wakes up finding himself in a strange hotel room, transformed and alone. In his quest for answers, he interacts with various figures, including acquaintances who do not recognize him and hint at darker truths regarding his missing identity. Through poignant reflections, Grey realizes he is not only a fugitive but entangled in a royal intrigue, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of themes around identity, loyalty, and the search for truth.
