The story
behind the book:
In 1458, the
fifteen-year-old, widowed Queen Charlotta ascended the throne of the Kingdom of
Cyprus. Two years later, she moved her supporters into the seaside fortress of
Kyrenia, where they withstood a siege by her power-hungry half-brother, Jacco.
When her second husband Louis of Savoy proved a weak leader, Queen Charlotta voyaged
without him across the Mediterranean, entreating allies to help save her crown.

Author Amy Maroney
discovered this extraordinary young woman while doing research for the Sea
and Stone Chronicles, a collection of novels set in medieval Rhodes
and Cyprus. Like so many other women of the past, Queen Charlotta has languished
for centuries in the shadows of history. With The Queen’s Scribe, Amy
Maroney hopes to bring her astonishing story back to life.
The
Queen’s Scribe by Amy Maroney
A broken promise. A bitter
conflict. And a woman’s elusive chance to love or die.
1458. Young Frenchwoman
Estelle de Montavon sails to Cyprus imagining a bright future as tutor to a
princess. Instead, she is betrayed by those she loves most—and forced into a
dangerous new world of scheming courtiers, vicious power struggles, and the
terrifying threat of war.
Determined to flee, Estelle
enlists the help of an attractive and mysterious falconer. But on the eve of
her escape, fortune’s wheel turns again. She gains entry to Queen Charlotta’s
inner circle as a trusted scribe and interpreter, fighting her way to dizzying
heights of influence.
Enemies old and new rise
from the shadows as Estelle navigates a royal game of cat and mouse between the
queen and her powerful half-brother, who wants the throne for himself.
When war comes to the
island, she faces a brutal reckoning for her loyalty to the queen. Will the
impossible choice looming ahead be Estelle’s doom—or her salvation?
With this richly-told story
of courage, loyalty, and the sustaining power of love, Amy Maroney brings a
mesmerizing and forgotten world to vivid life. The Queen’s Scribe is
a stand-alone novel in the Sea and Stone Chronicles collection.
