Neiti De Taverney: Historiallinen Romaani Ludvig Xv:n Hovista
Translated by Valfrid Hedman
France, 1774. The old king lies dying and the wheels of revolution are already turning in the shadows. At Versailles, Andrée de Taverney, a young noblewoman serving the future queen Marie Antoinette, finds herself trapped in a deadly game of courtly ambition. Her father, greedy for royal favor, sacrifices her to the lascivious Louis XV. But Andrée is not without defenders: the desperate young Gilbert will stop at nothing to save her, and the mysterious Josef Balsamo, alchemist and master manipulator, pulls strings that even the king cannot see. Dumas weaves a tale of power, passion, and the slow crumbling of an ancient world. This is France on the edge of the abyss, where a single woman's honor becomes the battlefield for forces that will soon tear the nation apart.
