“You are the queen. You are the queen that Antoinette wanted to be.”
In 1767 Austria, Maria Carolina Charlotte, the tenth daughter of Empress Maria Theresa, faces a life-changing fate. Originally destined to remain close to her beloved sister Antoinette, Charlotte must now marry King Ferdinand IV of Naples after her sister Josepha’s untimely death from smallpox. This unexpected turn forces Charlotte to leave her family and embrace a new role, shaping her future and the course of history.
Alone in Naples, Charlotte faces a difficult life. Her husband Ferdinand is weak, and his regent Tanucci’s rule harms the country. Desperate, Charlotte asks her brother Leopold for help. He sends John Acton, a skilled military leader, to support her. Now, Charlotte must find the strength to lead Naples, just as her mother once did.
During a time of political unrest and danger, Charlotte struggles to protect her family and kingdom while her sister Marie Antoinette faces crisis in France. This story explores the challenges of power, loyalty, and survival in a royal court.
