   Summary

   As consort to the King in Yellow, Arthur is the infamous Jewel of Carcosa, a high ranking member of court, both an object of desire and a political tactician. However, few know that the King in Yellow is not the monstrous horror he once was, nor that he and Arthur have a vendetta all their own. As Arthur and John juggle the treacherous politics of the Dreamlands with their search for the Crimson Stone, they find themselves turning to the only reprieve they have: lessons in human and godly intimacy.
