A romantic and thrilling historical adventure from the internationally bestselling author whose work Diana Gabaldon has called "Enthralling" Spain, 1748. Caridad is a recently freed Cuban slave wandering the streets of Seville. Her master is dead and she has nowhere to go. When, by chance, she meets Milagros Carmona--a young, spellbinding, rebellious gypsy--the two women become inseparable. Caridad is swept into an exotic fringe society full of romance and art, passion and dancing. But all that changes when gypsies are declared outlaws by royal mandate and life instantly becomes perilous. Their group is split up--some imprisoned, some forced into hiding, all fearing for their lives. Caridad and Milagros are eventually reunited and join in the gypsys' struggle against this widespread oppression. It's a dangerous battle that cannot, and will not, be easily won. From the bustle of Seville to the theatres of Madrid, "The Barefoot Queen" is an unforgettable historical fresco filled with characters that live, suffer, and fight for the lives of those they love, and for the freedom they can't live without.
