The Monk Prince

After twenty years of searching King Waluyo finally gets his son back. He cannot understand why his beloved younger wife had insisted that their son become a monk. What was she hiding from him? Why did she want to separate their only child from him? When he learns that Alak Tegoh the crown prince is not his biological son he realises that Queen Megabintang may have poisoned his other children. To protect his only living child and the people of his kingdom Waluyo must use all his political acumen. His biggest hurdle however is Parantapa's attitude towards politics and war. Can he persuade his son to relinquish his Buddhistic upbringing of non-violence? Or will he fail and see all that he has built fall into the hands of his brother-in-law King Jayagapor?
