Dorothy Dunnett
À propos de cet audio
Though she is only a little girl, the Queen is already the object of malicious intrigues that extend from her native country to the court of France. It is to France that Lymond must travel, exercising his sword hand and his agile wit while also undertaking the most unlikely of masquerades, all to make sure that his charge's royal person stays intact.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Expert entertainment. . . . Dunnett can describe a duel more convincingly than Dumas.”

“Ingenious and exceptional . . . its effect brilliant, its pace swift and colorful and its multi-linear plot spirited and absorbing.”
