A beautiful love story between the Princess Royal Victoria and Prince Fritz Wilhelm, later German Emperor and Empress Frederick III.
When Prince Fritz of Prussia visits England in 1851, he steps into a world unlike his own: warm, informal, and full of ideals. Amid the marvels of the Great Exhibition, he forms a bond of intellect with Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, the curious and talented Princess Vicky.
Years later, their bond, formed in innocence, grows into one of history's most passionate royal marriages, but danger lurks nearby. Fritz's ambitious uncle, Prince Karl, has different dreams for his country. Determined to crush those he cannot seduce, he wields dark powers from the shadows behind the throne.
Through the years, Vicky and Fritz face loss, endure the harrowing birth of their first child - the future Kaiser Wilhelm II - and find the courage to rebuild their love after the unimaginable.
Rather than tracing Bismarck's rise to power, Under His Spell reveals an untold side of German history through Vicky and Fritz's ideals, hopes, and struggles.
Fans of Clare McHugh's A Most English Princess, Theresa Sherman's The Royal Mob, and Daisy Goodwin's Victoria will be captivated by this historically and emotionally rich opening to The Rival Courts saga.
