1334, Toulouse, Kingdom of France. Orphaned as a young child, Catherine Vimont dreams of nothing but the adventure and romance described in songs and stories. Confined to the walls of her manor, she resigns herself to the dull life of a laundress, guarding her dreams in secret and pining after her young master. 

When a storm ravages the manor and her young mistress perishes, a twist of fate propels Catherine into a position of royalty, one in which she is betrothed to the heir to the French throne. When one side of the royal family attempts to violently depose Catherine's new husband and spreads malicious rumours about her true identity, she must rise above the treachery and politics of the court, transforming from a meek peasant girl to the Queen of France.

As she stays as a guest at Henry's families residence, she is unwittingly submerged into the middle of family drama, tragedy, and love. Will Helene be able to overcome her social position, shyness and rank and follow her heart, or simply conform to what is expected of her? ~Dedicated to my grandma, who recently passed away but was the best story teller I knew~ UPDATE: I wrote this book a few years ago on a whim, and also to help distract me from the grief of losing my grandma. As such, it is very unedited! I am leaving it up because it was my first book on Wattpad, and came straight from my heart. I don't really plan on editing it so I am sorry if you notice any errors/holes/mistakes, but hope you can enjoy it in its very rough and unpolished form nonetheless :-)
