Augsburg 1497. The world lies at the feet of the fun-loving patrician's daughter Sibylla. Until her paths cross with that of the man who dominates the world of the time. His name is Jakob Fugger, and he promises Sibylla to fetch her the stars from the sky. While Sibylla, as Jakob's wife, dines with emperors and cardinals, while she witnesses how Jakob directs the fortunes of entire empires, it becomes clear to her that money and power are no guarantees of happiness in life. But when she meets the great love of her youth again, she must learn what it really means to be the wife of the Fuggers.
