At the court of Louis XV, extravagance and costly wars stir popular discontent in Paris. The king takes refuge in frivolities with the powerful Marquise de Pompadour, while his mistresses and daughters vie for his favour. With the marquise's death, a new favourite tries to influence the monarch.

For readers of historical and romantic fiction with an interest in eighteenth-century France.
