The Queen's Tiara, Or, Azouras Lazuli Tintomara A Tale of Events Immediately Before, During and After the Assassination of King Gustaf III of Sweden : Romaunt in Twelve Books

One of Sweden's greatest classics, this novel weaves the tale of the beautiful but sexless androgyne Tintomara with whom both sexes fall in love, around the assassination of the 'Theatre King' Gustav III on the stage of his own opera house at a masked ball in 1792. Tintomara too comes to a tragic end in what was to have been merely a melodramatic entertainment for the court. But not before s/he causes all sorts of disastrous complications and confusion.
