Van Zile is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against a backdrop of political intrigue, focusing on the Crown Prince Carlo of Rexania as he travels incognito to America amidst concerns for his monarchy's survival. The book explores themes of loyalty, revolution, and identity, intertwining the lives of various characters who are both tied to and seeking to overturn the royal lineage.  The opening of the novel introduces a group of disenchanted Rexanian expatriates in New York, discussing their plans regarding the crown prince's arrival. Their conversation reveals a conspiracy tied to the prince's journey, as they believe he must be kept from returning home to maintain their revolutionary cause. Meanwhile, we meet Prince Carlo, disguised as Count Szalaki, who grapples with his identity and the expectations of royalty while encountering an American family, the Strongs. As the story unfolds, Carlo faces the complexities of his position and the possible tumult in his homeland, setting the stage for a gripping tale of love, duty, and rebellion.
