The Uncrowned King is a sweeping historical romance set in the glittering yet treacherous courts of Renaissance Europe. At its heart is a nobleman whose brilliance, charm, and ambition make him a ruler in everything but name. Surrounded by political intrigue, jealous rivals, and dangerous passions, he must navigate a perilous path between love and power. His devotion to a woman of courage and grace becomes both his strength and his greatest vulnerability, as betrayal and loyalty clash in a world where crowns are won not only by bloodlines but by cunning. Baroness Orczy brings her gift for drama, romance, and richly detailed historical settings to this story of love, ambition, and destiny, painting a portrait of a man who wielded influence far greater than his title.
