When Francis falls ill, Catherine discovers Mary's plan to return to Scotland with Conde. Will she be able to stop her from destroying everything? (sister story to A 'Change of Heart')

In a time were men undervalue women, a time were men believe that women were of the weaker sex, a time were men dominated over women. This is story of how an intelligent and powerful Queen Catherine de' Medíci pulled herself together amidst the gender power struggle in the old ages, the shame she endured and the rising religious wars that brought her an infamous title in History.

A relationship between Catherine de Medici and her Lady, Charity. The idea came from a memory flash of a dream, inspired by Reign. Lady Charity is completely fictional, all other characters are loosely based on their Reign counterparts. While not the best story in the world, it's my first completed story and, for that alone, I'm very proud of it. I hope you find something in it to enjoy :) A special thank to my friend who supported and encouraged me from Day 1 of this process.
