Ruling a kingdom in the 14th Century was no task for a woman.

When Robert of Naples died in 1342, beautiful, sixteen-year-old Joanna and her sister Maria became the sole heirs to one of the largest, wealthiest and most sophisticated kingdoms in Europe.

Born in a male-dominated world in the passionate south of Italy, and surrounded by ambitious male cousins with an equal claim to the crown, will these sisters be able to maintain control over their kingdom? With only their wits, beauty, and the love of their people to aid them, Joanna and Maria, bound together by their strong love and fierce rivalry, are prepared to do anything to hold onto their beloved Kingdom.

But can they survive a kidnapping, court intrigues, civil war, and even murder tearing their Kingdom apart? Find the answer in this gripping true story of 14th Century Europe.

"Definitely a great read! I want more!" ~Tajuana, Amazon reader.
