The Girl Who Would Be Queen
King Robert the wise of Naples dies in January 1342. Ruler of one of the largest, wealthiest, and most sophisticated European kingdoms, Robert names his sixteen-year-old granddaughter Joanna as his sole heir or, if she dies childless, her thirteen-year-old sister Maria. Born into a male dominated world and surrounded by ambitious male cousins, the sisters have only their wits, beauty, and the love of their people to steer them through the intrigue and plotting at the royal court. Bound together by their love and a fierce rivalry, the siblings are prepared to do whatever is necessary to maintain control of their precious kingdom.
