Vicky's father, Albert, the Prince Consort, has just died, leaving her and her family under a heavy cloud of grief, without their dearest friend and advisor, at a most critical time: The political horizon grows dark with storm clouds at the entry of Bismarck to Germany's political stage in 1862.
Will Fritz's courage stand the test as he confronts the spider in its web? Is Prussia really fighting for the rights of the Schleswig people, or is so much blood being shed for the sake of Prussia's aggrandizement?
Join Vicky and Fritz on their journeys under the blue cloudless skies of the Mediterranean to the peaceful heather-clad hills of the Highlands of Scotland; to the burning heat of the North African desert to the raging blizzards of a winter war in Denmark.
When Vicky's closest friend disappears, will she be able to keep the secret? Will old enemies prove to be friends, and old friends prove to be enemies?

Luv Lubker has lived in the Victorian era half her life, making friends with the Brontë sisters and the extended family of Queen Victoria. Now she knows them quite as well as her own family.
Born in a cattle trough in the Appalachian mountains, Luv lives in Texas – when she comes to the modern world.
When she isn't living in the Victorian era, she enjoys being with her family; making and eating delicious raw food, riding her bike (which she only learned to ride at 25, though she has ridden a unicycle since she was 7), and watching animals – the passion of her childhood.

I have added your book to my to-read list, Luv. I am really looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI learnt about Bismarck when I was at school - he was quite the shady character. What made you decide to write about this era in history?
ReplyDeleteI always thought Bismarck was to blame for the first world war indirectly, of course. When he went to war with France, and then when France was defeated and France had to pay 5 billion francs, the loss of territory and the abject humiliation it is no wonder that France was so eager to return the favour at The Treaty of Versailles. With history, I have found, there is always more to the story than what first meets the eye.
DeleteOn another note, your book sounds like a must read, Luv. I shall certainly be adding it to my to-read list.
