Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.81mb | Retail
Overview: Paris, in the reign of the mad king Charles VI. Behind the crenellated walls of the Hôtel Saint-Pol — a fortress-city of ten thousand men-at-arms, of gardens, chapels, and dungeons — a broken king reigns in name, and a beautiful, ruthless queen rules in truth.
Isabeau of Bavaria will stop at nothing: not murder, not poison, not the ruin of the innocent. Around her circle the two most dangerous men in France — Jean sans Peur, Duke of Burgundy, and Louis d’Orléans — locked in a rivalry that will soon set the whole kingdom aflame. And into this nest of ambition rides a single young sword: Hardy de Passavant, a chevalier with nothing but his courage, his honour, and a love the crown itself has marked for destruction.
Secret passages and midnight duels, a poisoner’s laboratory, whispered treasons, and a girl whose innocence stands between the throne and its darkest design — Michel Zévaco, master of French cloak-and-dagger romance and creator of the immortal Pardaillan, spins a tale of breathless intrigue and heroic passion.
