In the organizer's words:

A breathtaking novel about war and love, power and betrayal - the great new novel by the bestselling author.

1756: Frederick II of Prussia is at the zenith of his power - when his arch-enemy Maria Theresa succeeds in driving him into a corner. The king goes on the attack. His campaign, which will go down in history as the Seven Years' War, becomes a crucial test for his family: while his brother and heir to the throne, Wilhelm, crumbles under the pressure, Henry, of all people, who has a reputation for being light-footed, proves to be a brilliant strategist, while his sister Amalie takes an unheard-of path. Meanwhile, no one in the family pays any attention to Hannibal, the righteous black pageboy who won't leave their side and has his own idea of the future.
