Críticas:
"Henrietta Lightfoot's exploits in Revolutionary France are irresistible. She's a heroine you can't put down." (LUCY WORSLEY)
Reseña del editor:
Paris, 1791, Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI are in captivity and the French Revolution is in full swing: Henrietta’s reunion with her lover Lord Allenham has ended abruptly and she is left with nothing but his strange message to guide her to him. Alone in a foreign city spiralling into bloodshed, Henrietta is aided by Grace Dalrymple Elliott, a celebrated Scottish courtesan whose looks and fortune are on the wane. But Mrs Elliott’s assistance comes at a price, and Henrietta soon finds herself a pawn in a vicious rivalry of powerful women.
Determined to unravel the mystery of Allenham’s disappearance, Henrietta must form a number of dangerous liaisons. But within the mirrored rooms of the Palais Royal, everyone is keeping secrets and nothing is what it seems. As the ways of the aristocratic old order crumble beneath her, politics and passion lead Henrietta into a deadly game, where the life she is striving to save may not even be her own.
