Désirée

In the vibrant port city of Marseille during 1794, Desiree Clary, a young and passionate milliner, finds herself captivated by the charismatic military leader Napoleon Bonaparte. However, her eventual marriage to General Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, an influential aid to Napoleon, sets in motion a complex web of political allegiances and personal relationships that eventually lead to Bernadotte joining forces against his former comrade. Meanwhile, Josephine Beauharnais - a sophisticated courtesan with an extensive past - becomes embroiled in the world of imperial power when she marries Napoleon himself and is crowned Empress of France. But as her inability to bear an heir weighs heavily on their union, Josephine's position at the heart of the empire is called into question, setting the stage for a tumultuous journey through love, ambition, and the price of political loyalty.
