The series is about the young Maria Stuarda and her companions, the engagement between Mary and Francesco is formalized to strengthen the political / military alliance between France and Scotland. But the game is not over. The problems are confused between politics, religion and affairs of the heart. Prince Francis is attracted to the determined and charismatic Mary, but like most young people, he is reluctant to settle in marriage, especially having an emotional relationship with a court lady already in progress. And his view on the importance and usefulness of an alliance with Scotland changes. Still, a bond between Mary and Francesco ignites.
Further complicating matters is the presence of Bash, Francesco's young and charming half-brother. Despite his illegitimate birth, Bash is his father's favorite, King Henry II.

None of the court intrigues go unnoticed by Queen Caterina de 'Medici, Francesco's mother. As a guide in this maze of intrigues, the queen turns to her trusted advisor, the seer Nostradamus. The latter terrifies her with a prophecy that marriage to Mary will lead to death. Catherine is determined to save her son, at any cost. Amid court intrigues and sabotage attempts, Mary has the support of her most trusted friends, as well as court ladies: Greer, Kenna, Lola and Aylee. Ready to rule the new kingdom and balance the needs of her country with those of her heart, Mary prepares to fight her enemies at court.
