María Sofía Wittelsbach, hermana de la legendaria emperatriz Sissi, abandona su idílica infancia en Baviera para unirse en matrimonio con Francisco de Borbón, heredero del trono de las Dos Sicilias, en el sur de Italia; para ella un ilustre desconocido. A sus dieciocho años se ve coronada como reina, pero pronto su reino es invadido por las tropas del caudillo José Garibaldi y del rey de Cerdeña, lo que la lleva a luchar con asombrosa valentía en la defensa de su trono. Su relato honesto y sincero revela a una mujer de temperamento apasionado, también sensible y profundamente humana, consciente de sus debilidades y culpas. Una mujer muy ligada a su familia, especialmente a su adorada hermana Sissi, capaz de amar con verdadera pasión desde el primer instante y para toda la vida al pueblo napolitano, que la ha acogido con los brazos abiertos y por el que ella, proveniente de un país y de una realidad tan diferentes, se ha dejado inmediatamente seducir. La historia, entretejida con intrigas y traiciones, explora la vida íntima y los desafíos públicos de una mujer excepcional que fue muy popular en su época, admirada y censurada por igual por su incansable lucha por preservar su legado y encontrar la felicidad, que ha quedado relegada a un injusto olvido del que merece ser rescatada.
