Sisi

Sisi’s sister Néné is engaged to Emperor Franz Joseph. Against her will, Sisi travels to Bad Ischl where the engagement is made official, yet there’s an undeniable connection between Sisi and Franz.

Engagement to Franz changes Sisi’s life forever, and her already difficult family relationship endures further strain. The future empress must undergo a crash course in preparation for her new life.

Just as the happiness of the imperial couple seems absolute, an assassination attempt is carried out in secret among their closest circle.

Barely recovered from his injuries, Franz hurries back to his troops, hungry for revenge. The war is an unmitigated disaster for Austria; Napoleon III seems to have won the upper hand.

When Sisi ends up in captivity, together with Andrassy of all people, she is faced with the question of how long she can remain steadfast...only Countess Esterhazy can save the Empress now.

Sisi and Andrassy travel to Vienna to convince Franz of the need for a Hungarian parliament. But the special affection between Sisi and Andrassy does not go unnoticed by Franz.
