Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00003
English Summary/英文概要： "A historically sharp and dramatically stirring love story."—Kirkus Reviews
When Anne of Brittany’s father dies in 1488, she becomes Duchess of Brittany, her country’s ruler at age eleven. For the next three years, the unmarried, orphaned duchess is pursued by suitors while Brittany is invaded by its larger, more powerful neighbor of France. With no other way out, at age fourteen she agrees to marry Charles VIII, King of France, to save her country. Better to be a queen than a prisoner...
Unexpectedly, a passionate relationship ensues. Yet Charles cannot shake off bad habits he brings to their marriage, and Anne cannot help him in his darkest area of struggle.
Together, they introduce the wonders of the Italian Renaissance to France, building one of Europe’s most glorious fifteenth century courts at their royal residence in Amboise, in the heart of the Loire Valley.
But year after year they fail to achieve the one most important aim they must accomplish to secure the future of their kingdom. As they desperately attempt to make their shared dream come true, an unexpected twist of fate irrevocably changes the fortunes of both Anne and Charles.
Anne and Charles is Book One of the Anne of Brittany Series, the gripping story of the only woman in history to be twice crowned queen of France.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “这是一个历史上尖锐而激动人心的爱情故事。”—柯克斯评论
当布里特尼的安妮得爸爸在1488年去世时，她成为了布里特尼的公爵夫人，这是她11岁时的国家统治规则。在接下来的三年里，未婚的、孤儿的公爵夫人被追求者们追逐，而布里特尼则被其更大、更强大的法国邻居入侵。没有别的办法，14岁的她同意嫁给法国国王查尔斯八世，以拯救她的国家。毕竟做一个王后比一个囚犯好。
出乎意料的是，一段充满激情的关系随之而来。然而，查尔斯无法摆脱他给他们的婚姻带来的坏习惯，而安妮也无法在他最黑暗的斗争领域帮助他。
他们一起将意大利文艺复兴的奇迹引入法国，在卢瓦尔河谷的中心，在他们位于安博伊西的皇家住宅中，建造了欧洲最辉煌的十五世纪的宫廷之一。
但年复一年，他们未能实现他们必须完成的最重要的目标，以确保他们的王国的未来。当他们绝望地试图让他们共同的梦想成真时，命运的意外转折不可逆转地改变了安妮和查尔斯的命运。
安妮和查尔斯是安妮布里特尼系列的安妮，这是历史上唯一一位两度加冕法国女王的故事。
