Reis naar het weelderige maar verraderlijke hof van Aquitanië, waar politieke intriges en oude magie verweven zijn in een gevaarlijk machtsspel. Volg een jonge vrouw die uit een leven van rustige studie wordt meegesleurd in een dodelijke samenzwering die haar koninkrijk bedreigt. Ze moet zich een weg banen door gevaarlijke allianties en duistere geheimen ontrafelen om haar land te beschermen en een gevallen prinses te wreken. Dit is een verhaal over onverwachte moed, zelfontdekking en de strijd om te overleven in een wereld op de rand van oorlog.

  1. 1

    Vianne di Rocancheil has been largely content to play the gawky provincial. As lady in waiting at the Court of Arquitaine, she studies her books, watches for intrigue, and shepherds her foolhardy Princess safely through the glittering whirl. Court is a sometimes-unpleasant waltz, especially for the unwary, but Vianne treads its measured steps well. Unfortunately, the dance has changed. Treachery is afoot in gilded and velvet halls. A sorcerous conspiracy is unleashed, with blood, death, and warfare close behind. Her Princess murdered and her own life in jeopardy, Vianne must flee, carrying the fate of her land with her--the Great Seal of Arquitaine, awake after its long sleep. Invasion threatens, civil war looms, and the conspiracy hunts for Vianne di Rocancheil, to kill or to use her against all she holds dear. A life of dances, intrigues, and fashion has not prepared her for this. Nor has it prepared her for Tristan d'Arcenne, Captain of the King's Guard and player in the most dangerous games conspiracy can devise. Yet to save her country and avenge her Princesse, Vianne will become what she must, say what she should, and do whatever is required. A Queen can do no less
