Charred Remains. A mysterious Locket.
And a horrific scandal in the court of the Sun King.
A scandal that could dwarf even the outrageous affair of the poisons.
The year is 1682 and the place is the palace of Versailles, where the Sun King, Louis the Fourteenth, reigns supreme over four thousand resident courtiers.
Their social and political lives are intricately intertwined within a rigid hierarchy of etiquette. Behind the brilliant facade of lavish festivities, lies a shadowy world of intrigue, promiscuity, sorcery, and murder.
When human remains and a silver locket are unearthed on the neighboring estate of her husband’s lover, the duchess Elisabeth Charlotte d’Orléans investigates their origin and jeopardizes her own safety when her discoveries lead to the criminal involvement of her most powerful enemies at court.
Dive into Roxanne Lalande’s riveting blend of political intrigue, romance, and mystery!
