Queen Victoria - one of the most famous and influential women in history. Under her reign Great Britain prospered like never before and became the world's number 1 leading power. Hundreds of books, series and movies are telling us her story until today. But what about the other Victoria, the Princess Royal and first child of the legendary queen, who was once destined to become Germany's most revolutionary empress? Out of love Vicky married the emperor-to-be Frederick Wilhelm of Prussia, called Fritz within the family, but besides that it had been a political match, for her father Albert had projected a great mission onto his daughter: To transform his liberal ideas of a constitutional monarchy in Germany into reality. How can it still be, that almost nobody remembers the mother of Queen Victorias beloved grandson Kaiser Wilhelm II.? This historical fiction takes a closer look on the woman behind her cruel fate, that would thwart all her plans of making Germany a more liberal and democratic country with her husband. Vicky's story, though almost being overlooked nowadays, shall not be forgotten.

Kurz nach der Krönung des Kaisers Go-Tsuchimikado fand in jener Onīn Zeit ein Bürgerkrieg statt, dieser Onīn-krieg genannt wird und für viele Opfer sorgte; Tempel, Schreine, Paläste und Villen wurden verbrannt, die Finanzierung war ausgetrocknet und das Kaiserhof verschlechterte sich. Jeder von der kaiserlichen Familie machte eine schlimme Zeit durch, vor allem seine acht Kinder. Michihide, die Jüngste von allen, bekam zwar den Krieg nicht mehr mit, jedoch die finanzielle Lage, in der sie sich befanden. Mit der Zeit des Leides fing die Kleine an, Visionen zu haben. Somit war sie nicht nur ein Sonderling in der Familie, sondern auch Jemand, der nicht in falsche Hände gelangen sollte. Die Prinzessin begegnet durch einen Traum einen muslimischen Chinesen, der sich aus träumerischen Gründen auf Reisen begab. So treffen zwei Menschen aus zwei unterschiedlichsten Kulturen und Glauben aufeinander - Welten, dessen Treffen niemand erwartet hätte. Und wer hätte erwartet, dass die Begegnung des Anderen so viel Wärme in ihre Herzen bringen könnte? #7 in Islam - 31.12.2020 #19 in Träume - 06.12.2020 (Charakterliste am Ende angehängt) (Die Geschichte ist größtenteils fiktiv)

In small town Hendersonville, North Carolina, there's a time and a place for women to open their mouths. Lydia Grace Abney doesn't care to wait on that time or that place. She walks through life without any shoes on, dirt on her skin, and wind-blown hair. Some might say she gets her classless qualities from being raised with all boys. Others say the devil is doing work in her life and holding her tongue hostage. But Lydia doesn't see anything wrong with her inability to keep her mouth shut. Especially when it comes to the ever-growing racism flooding her small, southern town. She's willing to fight tooth and nail to stand up for what she believes is right-and this particular act catches the eye of someone rather unexpected.
