"This sensational novel is based on the life of the Samoan-American woman who built a 19th century trading empire covering half an ocean, and became known throughout the Pacific as Queen Emma.
Her fantastic exploits, her commercial genius, her beauty and magnetic personality, her many lovers and fierce passions, her extraordinary rise to fame and fortune, and finally her mysterious death in Monte Carlo in 1913 have become a full-blooded legend."
