Description
At just fourteen, Catherine de' Medici finds herself thrust into a world of political intrigue and personal sacrifice as she arrives in Marseilles for an arranged marriage. With a sullen expression that belies her tender age, she carries the heavy burden of expectations and the shadows of her family's tumultuous past. The vibrant French court is a far cry from her native Florence, and it is here that Catherine must navigate treacherous alliances and the complexities of royal life.
As she grows from a young girl into a formidable woman, Catherine's determination and resilience shine through. Her longing for love is often entangled with the harsh realities of power, leading her to make choices that will shape her destiny and the future of France. With each passing year, she transforms from a broken-hearted child into a queen who is both feared and revered, forever marked by the sacrifices she must make in the name of her family's legacy.
