Set in the latter half of the 15th century, the story revolves around the young and innocent Caterina Cornaro, who is betrothed to Janus II, King of Cyprus. The narrative explores themes of ambition, duty, and the melding of romantic ideals with the complex realities of political alliances, as Caterina is to navigate her new role as queen amid the intrigue surrounding her marriage and fate. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the dreamy allure of Cyprus as it captivates the rulers of Venice. As Caterina learns of her imminent betrothal, she is filled with excitement and trepidation about becoming the queen. The opening chapters depict her innocent fantasies of royalty and the opulence of her future while hinting at the underlying tensions in Cyprus, including the political ramifications of her marriage and the whispers of discontent that could disrupt her idyllic dreams. As the festivities surrounding her engagement unfold, Caterina navigates her shifting identity from a sheltered Venetian maiden to a pivotal player in the politics of a foreign land, setting the stage for her developing character and the challenges to come.
