From her earliest days, Genevieve Gravois has known one fact
above all: Francis I, king of France, is her enemy. Raised
by her embittered aunt after her parents' deaths, Genevieve
has been schooled in things no woman should know: how to
decipher codes, how to use a dagger and a bow, and how to
kill. For Henry VIII has a destiny in mind for the young
girl--as his most powerful and dangerous spy.
When the time is ripe, Genevieve enters the magnificent
world of the French court. With grace to match her ambition,
she becomes maid of honor to Anne de Pisseleau, King
Francis's mistress. Yet neither the court--which teems with
artistry and enlightenment as well as intrigue--nor Francis
himself are at all what Genevieve expected. And with her
mission, her life, and the fate of two kingdoms at stake,
she will be forced to make deadly decisions about where her
heart and her ultimate loyalties lie.
