This is an unconventional historical biography.
The subject, Sophia, is an unloved nobleman's daughter from a northern principality. Raised in a convent, she is nonetheless married off by her father to the chief knight, then a rising young talent. But neither of these two, set up as pawns, is content with their assigned roles. When the prime minister usurps power, her husband uses the situation to quickly rise to the rank of senior knight while also trying to break free of her father's influence.
After being deceived, betrayed, and exploited, Sophia transforms. She is no longer someone's daughter or someone's wife. She is herself. In the end, Sophia takes part in planning and carrying out a series of events that have a major impact on history.
The author of this book, "I," comes from a parallel world much like yours. There, "I" am a historian. So the things that seem utterly novel to you are real to me.
This book is not a novel. It is a work of historical research on the "Age of Usurpation," an important era in my world.
"I" will cite a wealth of historical records, unofficial accounts, and letters, presenting the real woman who once lived in history, Grand Duchess Felicity Ferraci. Through her, I will reconstruct the court power struggles of the Age of Usurpation.
My account will follow the methods of historical research. It may not be easy for readers accustomed to novels, but that is precisely my goal: to write the truth.
Theme: For women to grow, they must leave the greenhouse and face challenges.
Damn it, can the fandom of the author jojo not lock it? It's so delicious 💔
