Young Adult // Maria Angevin wants to be queen. All of her life she has dreamed of ruling her beloved home of Naples, wearing glittering jewels, and commanding the admiration of all around her. Unfortunately, she is the second daughter and it is her serious sister Princess Joanna who is heir. Joanna, too, desperately awaits her time to rule, but because of her desire to see Naples prosper and to care for its citizens, rather than the wish for the most beautiful gowns and to be covered in diamonds.
The Girl Who Would Be Queen is about Joanna and Maria, and the intrigues, betrayal, murders, and scandals that swirl around the rule of the Queen of Naples. Truth can be more sensational than fiction sometimes and with a feel similar to TV shows, The Borgias or The Tudors.
