She Changed Europe

Synopsis: I, Gisela Louise Marie, daughter of Emperor Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, a princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and heir to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. Everyone says the Habsburgs are doomed. All I can say is: Impossible. Absolutely impossible! This world has magic and science that can be used to grow crops. How could we possibly be doomed?

The ministers: Exactly! Let someone else go to war. You, happy Austria, go get married! What Mars, the god of war, gives to others, Venus, the goddess of love, will grant to you.

A fantasy historical novel with gender-swapped characters. Germany and Austria can't unite, but nobody said they can't share a monarch!

(A revised edition of the author's old novel, Rose of the Danube.)
