Description
Newly crowned King George III must marry, but he can’t wed the woman he loves — Catholic Lady Sarah Lennox. Thus a search begins for an appropriate German Protestant royal.
For years Charlotte has hidden her ethnicity using white Elizabethan makeup to help her title-rich but cash-poor family survive. An opportunity to marry the British king is one that she can't pass up, but Charlotte is also in love with someone else — the talented but poor commoner, Johann Christian Bach (son of JS Bach).
Does King George give up Lady Sarah? Will Queen Charlotte ever see Bach again? And what of her family secret and quest for answers?

—Whoopi Goldberg
"Andrews’ Charlotte Sophia becomes a wily, cunning woman learning to navigate her arranged marriage to 'mad' King George III who had no knowledge of her Moorish roots until their wedding night. I could hardly wait to read what Charlotte did next!"

"A compelling examination of the life of the German princess of color and Knights Templar descendant forced to hide her identity to ensure her power as she ascends to the seat of British queen consort. A thrilling page-turner."

A fabulous tale about Queen Charlotte, wife of King George. He is in love with someone else, but as they grow closer he gradually develops feelings for Charlotte. She is the owner of a mysterious amulet but all is revealed eventually to her. I will say no more, but the story becomes more thrilling as you read it, even though it is a page turner to begin with. I would recommend this book to all lovers of historical novels.
