The portrait shown on the cover of the book, painted by Johann Peter Krafft in 1816, shows a Princess of Salerno, with her golden hair and blue eyes-details of which are shown in the other portraits of the princess. The portrait is perhaps one of the most well-known things about her; for, society has long forgotten about the interesting life of the princess. What remains now are portraits and photographs.

Maria Clementina's life began in turmoil. Her father the Emperor lost his empire in 1806. Her marriage was apart of a plan to help strengthen the relationship between Austria and Naples. She saw the world change.

After her death in 1881, she left behind an intriguing story that has been left alone for more than a century.All Rights Reserved

In a kingdom built on ambition and betrayal, Queen Catherine weaves a dangerous web of deceit to claim ultimate power. Bound in a loveless marriage to King William, she finds solace-and passion-in the arms of his younger brother, Prince Henry. When her illicit affair results in a son, Catherine manipulates the court, ensuring that William believes the child to be his rightful heir. But ambition is a treacherous game, and Catherine is not content to simply rule from the shadows. Together with Henry, she plots the slow poisoning of the King, setting in motion a plan that will see her lover take the throne at her side. Yet fate is not so easily controlled-when she unexpectedly conceives a second child, one fathered by William, her carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Now, as the King weakens and the court teeters on the edge of chaos, Catherine must race against time to ensure William's demise before her secret is exposed. With enemies lurking in every corner and Henry's trust hanging by a thread, she must decide: will she risk everything for the throne, or will the lies she has spun become her undoing? Power. Passion. Betrayal. In this deadly game of crowns, there can only be one ruler. Will it be Catherine? Or will she fall victim to the very treachery she created?

Royal Fools by greenwriter

As Sutherland's new king, Emory Davercher faces countless challenges, but nothing as excruciating and frustrating as his mysterious, eccentric betrothed. *** When King Emory of Sutherland receives news that his betrothed is on her way to Sutherland, he sends her away before even laying eyes on the woman he has no intention of marrying. Months later, after a narrow escape from an assassination, he flees to his childhood home where he discovers a massive problem. Due to an unfortunate mishap, his betrothed has not left Sutherland. She's been in his secret estate all along. Grand Princess Florence Paulet of Gavaria and her cousin, Lucy, thinks her arrival in Sutherland will be easy. She doesn't expect that her betrothed, King Emory of Sutherland, will send her straight to an empty estate on an island where they fend for themselves for months. And when he finally shows up, he has the audacity to fool her by introducing himself as someone else. After having killed dozens of chickens with her bare hands to stay alive, and with lying as her ultimate weapon for survival since she left Gavaria, what else can an annoyed, blithe, and audacious Florence do? Of course, she has to return the favor and make him twice the fool. He thinks he's fooling her, and she finds fun knowing it's the other way around. As the harsh winter traps them in the estate, lies, little accidents, and undeniable attraction draw them together stronger than the snowstorm. But not as much as Florence's true reasons for leaving Gavaria, which are also making their way to Sutherland.

The King's Captive by AdelineDroit

My hand lifts without permission, hovering just short of the canvas. Not touching-God, even I know better-but close enough that it feels like heat radiates from the paint. "...Antonio?" Diego's voice is wary. I don't answer. I can't. I'm staring at her the way men stare at omens. "Diego," I whisper, "who is she?" Diego steps beside me, eyes widening. He whistles low. "She's... wow. She's-" "I know." "Antonio," he says, putting a hand on my shoulder, "you look deranged." "I feel deranged." He laughs, then cuts himself off when he sees I'm not joking. My pulse is hammering. I don't even know this girl's name, and yet something in me is clawing forward, hungry, fierce, desperate. I don't believe in fate. I don't believe in destiny or signs or prophecies or whatever nonsense my tutors preached when I was a boy. But looking at her- I almost do. "She's the Princess of Prussia," Diego finally says, reading the tiny plaque at the bottom. "Victoria." Victoria. The name hits like a strike to the chest.
