Description
Set against the glittering but rigid world of the Habsburg court, this richly imagined historical novel follows Elisabeth of Bavaria—known as Sisi—from an unexpected marriage into the demanding role of empress. As she navigates royal politics, suffocating protocol, and the immense expectations placed upon her, her passionate bond with Emperor Franz Joseph is tested by duty and circumstance. The story explores love, identity, freedom, and the cost of becoming a symbol, bringing to life a fascinating woman whose spirit struggled to survive behind the grandeur of the imperial throne.
