| Publisher Description: Back in print after twenty years, the final novel in the classic Catherine de' Medici trilogy (that includes Madame Serpent and The Italian Woman) from the bestselling grande dame of historical fiction. The final novel in the classic Catherine de' Medici trilogy from Jean Plaidy, the grande dame of historical fiction. The aging Catherine de' Medici and her sickly son King Charles are hoping to end the violence between the feuding Catholics and Huguenots. When Catherine arranges the marriage of her beautiful Catholic daughter Margot to Huguenot king Henry of Navarre, France's subjects hope there will finally be peace. But shortly after the wedding, when many of the most prominent Huguenots are still celebrating in Paris, King Charles gives an order that could only have come from his mother: rid France of its "pestilential Huguenots forever." In this bloody conclusion to the Catherine de' Medici trilogy, Jean Plaidy shows the demise of kings and skillfully exposes Catherine's lifetime of depraved scheming. |
