Are you looking for compelling tales of courage, hope, and love? Chronicles of historical events that still resonate? Accounts of political and personal intrigue, of moving romances, and narratives of betrayal, as well as uplifting tales of sacrifice, integrity, and redemption? Are you in search of stories of people and places of long ago and far-away that will make you smile or bring tears?

Gelardi did what I’d wished someone would do by weaving together the related stories of royal women throughout the years, and she did so with great success.

Lovely read. I like Julia Gelardi, her books are informative without being heavy or too dry.

Gelardi was able to give an in depth look at each woman’s trials and tribulations, weaving together throughout the book multiple countries, kings, queens, and wars while still retaining respect and precision for the individuality and uniqueness of each woman.
