Ruling a kingdom in the 14th Century was no task for a woman. In January 1342, King Robert the Wise of Naples died. Ruler of one of the largest, wealthiest and most sophisticated kingdoms in Europe, he named as his sole heir his sixteen-year-old granddaughter, Joanna, or, if she died without issue, her thirteen-year-old sister Maria. Born in a male-dominated world in the passionate south of Italy, and surrounded by ambitious male cousins with an equal claim to the crown, will these sisters be able to maintain control over their kingdom? With only their wits, beauty, and the love of their people to aid them, Joanna and Maria, bound together by their strong love and fierce rivalry, are prepared to do anything to hold onto their beloved Kingdom. If you like true-to-life historical fiction based on real events, you'll love The Girl Who Would Be Queen by multi-award-winning author Jane Ann McLachlan.
