Description

Marie-Louise Habsburg's life is one of duty and sacrifice. In 1810, she is forced to marry a foreign stranger twice her age in order to secure her family's crown. But when she arrives at the Palais des Tuileries in Paris, it becomes clear that winning her husband's affections will not be easy. Marie-Louise must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics, where a scorned first wife and a cunning sister-in-law vie for power. As she struggles to establish herself as Napoleon's youngest wife, Marie-Louise must confront the challenges of her new role and the secrets that threaten to destroy her. A gripping tale of love, loyalty, and survival, The Second Empress is a story of one woman's fight to claim her place in history.
