A "New York Times "bestseller, the love story of Sisi the
Austro-Hungarian Empress and wife of Emperor Franz Joseph is
captivating, absorbing, and beautifully told (Kathleen Grissom).
The year is 1853, and the Habsburgs are Europe s most powerful
ruling family. With his empire stretching from Austria to Russia,
from Germany to Italy, Emperor Franz Joseph is young, rich, and
ready to marry. Fifteen-year-old Elisabeth, Sisi, Duchess of
Bavaria, travels to the Habsburg Court with her older sister, who
is betrothed to the young emperor. But shortly after her arrival at
court, Sisi finds herself in an unexpected dilemma: she has
inadvertently fallen for and won the heart of her sister s groom.
Franz Joseph reneges on his earlier proposal and declares his
intention to marry Sisi instead. Thrust onto the throne of Europe s
most treacherous imperial court, Sisi upsets political and familial
loyalties in her quest to win, and keep, the love of her emperor,
her people, and of the world. With Pataki s rich period detail and
cast of complex, bewitching characters, "The Accidental Empress"
offers another absolutely compelling story (Mary Higgins Clark)
with this glimpse into one of history s most intriguing royal
families, shedding new light on the glittering Hapsburg Empire and
its most mesmerizing, most beloved Fairy Queen. "
