Sullen-eyed and broken-hearted, fourteen-year-old Catherine de' Medici arrives in Marseilles to marry Henry of Orleans, second son of the King of France.
When Catherine de' Medici was forced to marry Henry of Orleans, her's was not the only heart broken. And so both Catherine and Jeanne's lives are set on unwanted paths, destined to cross in affairs of state, love and faith, driving them to become deadly political rivals.
Tensions are running high between the Catholic Parisians and the visiting Huguenots. Margot's marriage to Henry has not brought about the peace that the sickly King Francis so longed for and, fearing that she is losing control over Francis, Catherine sets about persuading him of a Huguenot plot against his life.
