Who was Anne of Brittany? Raised to rule, she knew how to lead.
France admired her but Brittany loved her, just as Louis did.
Anne, Duchess of Brittany, is the love of King Louis XII of France's life. Too bad he's already married.While his annulment proceedings create Europe's most sensational scandal of 1498, Anne returns to Brittany to take back control of her duchy that her late husband, Charles VIII, King of France, had wrested from her.
At age twenty-one, Anne is sovereign ruler of Brittany as well as Europe's most wealthy widow. But can she maintain Brittany's independence from France if she accepts Louis' offer to make her Queen of France once more?
With Italian arrivals to the French court from Cesare Borgia to Niccolò Machiavelli, Anne and Louis' story unfolds as the feudal era gives way to the dawn of the Renaissance. Their love for each other tested by conflicting duties to their respective countries, the two rulers struggle to navigate a collision course that will reshape the map of sixteenth-century Europe.
Book Two of the Anne of Brittany Series, the gripping tale of a larger-than-life queen.
