“The truth is that none of us is sinless. We all have something to repent of,” says Ekaterina Medici, the last legal heiress of a brilliant kind. Expelled from his native Florence, Catherine becomes the bride of Henry, the son of the king of France, and fights for a worthy position at court, using both the services of the famous clairvoyant of Nostradamus, to whom she patronizes, and her own prophetic gift.
However, in the fortieth year of life, Catherine loses her husband and is left alone with six children in her arms – in a country tearing apart by the ambitions of a treacherous nobility. Thanks to spiritual resistance, an extraordinary mind and talent to find compromises, Ekaterina takes power in her hands in order to maintain a throne for sons. She does not know that if she is destined to save France, for the sake of this she will have to sacrifice ideals, a reputation … and the innermost secret of the heart hardened in battles.
