To have everything...she must reveal nothing. Louis XIV, the Sun King is at the pinnacle of his power and glory. For many privileged young women, the palace at Versailles is a paradise. For others, it is a gilded and bejeweled cage of oppression. Jeanne Yvette Mas du Bois is unlike most courtiers and the flavor of decadence tastes bitter upon her tongue. When Jeanne saves a Musketeer's life, she is mistaken for a man and admitted to an inner circle where she learns of an assassination plot against the Queen-and falls in love with a man she can never have. Now, with the Queen in jeopardy, and her own double life making her privy to the tangled intrigues at court, Jeanne is in a powerful yet increasingly perilous position. Jeane must fight against an arranged marriage to a weak, ineffectual, effeminate man of her father's choosing, she fights with a small dedicated group of Musketeers to save the life of the Queen, and she fights for the true love of her life.
