Description

The seven kingdoms comprising the Filippinas archipelago are each named after a different color — Pula, Kahel, Dilaw, Berde, Asul, Lila, and Rosas. In a castle built on the country’s highest mountain, the sovereign of the seven kingdoms reigns supreme.

Diskarte, jester of the high castle, has one job: entertaining the queen. This would be easy except Queen Bahaghari has a penchant for magically exploding the heads of subjects falling below her exacting standards. Can Diskarte avoid this frightening fate?
