Summary :
Louis XIII, through his all-powerful minister, Cardinal Richelieu, rules France. But the unchallenged authority of his feared advisor stirs up hatred and greed, and a determined group of high-ranking conspirators rises up to bring down the "red man."
In this feverish atmosphere of conspiracy, the very young and ardent Floriane de Saint-Évy arrives in Paris. Presented at Court, adored, she arouses passions and provokes, despite herself, conflicts that end in bloodshed.
Duels, traps, kidnappings, escapes, rides, romances, twists and turns follow one another at a frenzied pace, until the day when, in the shadow of a sinister scaffold, his destiny seems to change definitively.
In the superbly reconstructed setting of 17th century France, following the precise scenario of dramatic events that really took place, the author portrays, with the same vigor and the same meticulousness, authentic characters and heroes born of his sparkling and fertile imagination.
Painting a romantic fresco in the colors of a prestigious past, Mireille Lesage brilliantly combines the picturesque and the emotional, the panache and the joy of living, the history of France and fiction.
