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.

The King's Captive
My hand lifts without permission, hovering just short of the canvas. Not touching-God, even I know better-but close enough that it feels like heat radiates from the paint. "...Antonio?" Diego's voice is wary. I don't answer. I can't. I'm staring at her the way men stare at omens. "Diego," I whisper, "who is she?" Diego steps beside me, eyes widening. He whistles low. "She's... wow. She's-" "I know." "Antonio," he says, putting a hand on my shoulder, "you look deranged." "I feel deranged." He laughs, then cuts himself off when he sees I'm not joking. My pulse is hammering. I don't even know this girl's name, and yet something in me is clawing forward, hungry, fierce, desperate. I don't believe in fate. I don't believe in destiny or signs or prophecies or whatever nonsense my tutors preached when I was a boy. But looking at her- I almost do. "She's the Princess of Prussia," Diego finally says, reading the tiny plaque at the bottom. "Victoria." Victoria. The name hits like a strike to the chest.
