Princess Adelina is a young Irish maid, the daughter of a missionary.  They live in Thuringia. Hedan the young Herzog (king or ruler) falls in love with her and forces her to marry him. This is the tale of another Esther who goes from being a humble maiden to a Herzogin (queen) and how she (just like Esther) helps her people.

While Hedan is away fighting a battle, Princess Adelina’s life is being made miserable by her pagan mother-in-law Geila.  Adelina is a strong, feminine, young woman who is steadfast, forgiving, and faithful.

I think that this is the perfect story for young ladies who love adventure, heroism, and history and this is all three.
