Mühlbach is a historical novel set during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the reign of Empress Maria Theresa and the political dynamics of her court, focusing on significant characters including her ministers and advisors as they deliberate on crucial issues facing the Austrian Empire. The novel explores themes of power, loyalty, and the complexities of love intertwined with political intrigue. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a tense council meeting led by Maria Theresa, where her cabinet deliberates on Austria's future alliances. Key figures such as Baron von Bartenstein and Count von Uhlefeld express their confidence in renewing treaties with established allies while others speculate on the ambitions of the young and enigmatic Count Kaunitz. As the empress grapples with the opinions of her advisors, her beauty and authority are juxtaposed with the political machinations at play within her court. The chapter not only sets the stage for political decisions to come but also hints at the personal trials the empress faces, particularly regarding her husband and the delicate balance between love and duty.
