A royal wedding masks the unfolding of Catherine de Medici’s murderous plot against the Huguenots. Will any of the Huguenot princes survive? Life and death rest with two people … Rachelle Dushane-Macquinet, couturiere from a celebrated silk-making family, has come back to the Louvre Palais to create the royal wedding gown. Recruited into the evil Queen Mother’s ring of women spies, she must use her wits to preserve her honor—and the lives of her fellow Huguenots. Marquis Fabien de Vendome has also returned from a buccaneering venture against Spain. The Queen Mother plans to implicate him in an assassination. But Fabien has designs of his own. A man and a woman caught up in history’s deadly swirl and love’s uncertainties seek to escape the venom of Madame le Serpent. Faith in Christ must uphold them, and all who stand alone, in a city gone diabolically mad.

"This book is the second in a series of three. I really enjoyed this book. The author does a great job of talking about the Christian faith without being too preachy. If you like books that take place in the Elizabethan era, than I encourage you to read this one." — Tricia (5 out of 5 stars)

" Hard to follow, historic, long story. "
" interesting, murder, intrigue, a little romance, suspense... a little slow "
" I liked the first book, but this one felt more like a bridge. There wasn't as much meat to this one, more character and plot development that never really got anywhere. Hopefully things will go somewhere in the next book. "
" I loved the story,adventure,characters, writing(strong vocabulary and excellent sentence structure that flows), "
" In the middle, the book was a little bit slow, but the beginning and the end were great. "
" Somewhat boring and tedious until about half way through the book. Really struggled to finish the book and I normally love historical fictions. The story became more interesting at the mid point and I was able to breeze through the latter half. "
" I have enjoyed the intrigue and characters also I have enjoyed learning a little of the history of France. "
