520 |a 1810. Marie-Louise Christophe is crowned queen as her husband, Henry I, rules over the newly liberated Kingdom of Hayti in the wake of the brutal Haitian Revolution. Despite being the first and only free Black nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haitians still struggle under mountains of debt to France and indifference from former allies in Britain and the new United States. Louise desperately tries to steer the country's political course as King Henry descends into a mire of mental illness. In 1820 he is overthrown and dies by his own hand. Louise and her daughters flee to Europe with smuggled jewels. As Louise redefines her role, and newspapers and gossip track their every move, Louise and her daughters discover more about themselves, their Blackness, and the opportunities they can grasp in a European and male-dominated world. -- adapted from jacket
