Queen of the Darkest Hour

Francia, 783: As wars loom, Queen Fastrada faces a peril within the castle walls: King Charles's eldest son, Pepin.

Based on historic events during Charlemagne's reign, "Queen of the Darkest Hour" is a story of family strife endangering an entire country-and the price to save it.
