Before Versailles: A Novel of Louis XIVby Karleen Koen
Release Date: Jun 28, 2011
Via Karleen Koen's Website: This fourth novel, Before Versailles, is a single I've been perplexing to write for a prolonged time. But a story was too large, as well as we gave up, violation a square of a story away to use in Dark Angels. Then we realized we had to break a total story in to smaller pieces. Before Versailles is a single of a pieces, a largest one.
So here it is, a immature as well as handsome Louis XIV, who was a rock star/politician of a 17th century. But there was a before. In 1661, when he was 22, his budding minister as well as mentor died. Louis detected which he might be aristocrat of France, though he wasn't a many comprehensive male in a kingdom. Someone else was. And an astonishing adore affair brought him to a margin of a scandal which in jeopardy a fragile peace inside of his court. All of a upon top of is constant as well as interesting to me.
So we threw in a child in a iron facade as well as played with a little secrets historians have been still guessing about. The Tamworths aren't in this one, though a thread of this storyyet another square will be in a next book, as well as so will Alice as well as Richard.
