The story is set in the fictional kingdoms of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary and revolves around the magical properties of a rose and a ring, which cause anyone who possesses them to become irresistibly attractive. The narrative follows the adventures and misadventures of various royal characters, including Prince Giglio, Princess Angelica, and the scheming Countess Gruffanuff. Through these characters, Thackeray explores themes of vanity, power, and the absurdities of social hierarchies.
