Synopsis

In the 14th century, a time of great persecution of the Jews, fifteen-year-old Estelle, niece of the castle coffin-maker, is forced to keep her heritage a secret. But when she is tricked into entering a contest to discover the fairest maiden in the land, and marries the King of France, she is soon targeted by the evil Armand—the King’s Adviser and the Emperor’s spy – who will stop at nothing to expose her. Catapulted into an uncertain world filled with intrigue and murder, Estelle is forced to reveal her identity—even if that means putting her whole family into danger.
