Synopsis

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.

The second book in this series held my interest more than the first. Rachelle Dushane-Macquinet, from the famous silk producing family of France becomes involved with the diabolical Catherine de Medici who is a plotter par excellence. While the love interest, Marquis Fabien, is off destroying Spanis......more

Another great read in this series by Linda Lee Chaikin!! This book surrounded Rachelle's marriage to Marquis Fabian and how she deals with his leaving for a voyage to blow up a Spanish supply line and she's left to fend for herself etc. You could really feel the pain for her when he left which I fel......more
