More about the book
France, 1572: An ambush and a deadly duel mean young Huguenot nobleman Pierre de Siorac must travel to Paris and seek his pardon from the King. There he enters the intoxicating world of the royal court: a world of sweet words and fierce pride, where coquettish smiles hide behind fans, and murderous intents behind elegant bows; a world of genteel tennis matches and deadly swordplay, whose elaborate social graces mask a simmering tension that will soon explode into violence, engulfing the entire city in one of history's most infamous bouts of butchery and signalling the dawn of a new and bloody era in the history of France.
