Synopsis

1810. Palais des Tuileries, France.

As a princess of the Holy Roman Empire, Marie-Louise Habsburg knows the importance of family loyalty. So when her father asks her to save his crown by marrying a foreign stranger twice her age she has no choice but to obey.

But when she arrives in Paris, is becomes clear that Marie-Louise will have to fight for a place in her new husband's affections.

Between a scorned first wife determined to hold on to her title and a fiendishly devious sister-in-law, will the young princess ever be able to win her rightful place at court?

Meet Marie-Louise Bonaparte, youngest wife of Napoleon the Great and France's unwilling Second Empress.
