Historical
Liberté, Egalité, Sensualité. . . . As a spirit of change overturns Europe’s old order,
strong-willed Elzelina Versfelt enters her own age of
revolution. Married as a romantic young girl to a man who
wanted only her money, but neither loves nor desires her,
Elza refuses to be chained any longer. Leaving Amsterdam,
her marriage, and her home, she flees to France—where the
old rules no longer apply, debauchery is not a sin . . . and
nothing is forbidden. Yet Elza finds herself bound in a new way, to the ambitious
General Moreau. And while they share pleasure, pain, and
carnal adventures, she dreams of another man, an unruly
red-haired soldier she first saw in the promise of a Tarot
card. Drawn by this half-real, half-imagined hero, Elza
defies her relationship with Moreau, and begins a perilous
search across war-torn Europe. . . . But will this woman
with the instincts of a survivor, the passion of a
courtesan, and the gift of second sight ever find the
destiny for which she has risked it all? This stunning novel blends history with the language of the
heart to tell a sensual story of an era of upheaval . . .
and of the clamoring, dangerous desires of a woman’s soul.
