The story of the homesick Italian girl who became the most feared woman in sixteenth-century France..

And, tortured by what she sees, Catherine becomes dangerously occupied by a ruthless ambition destined to make her the most despised woman in France: the dream that one day the French crown will be worn be a Medici heir...
