Description

A fast-paced historical thriller...

The year is 1640, and Louis XIII is on the French throne. But far away from the palaces of power, young Pierre is an orphan living in a monastery school in Reims with a life of penniless and celibate servitude ahead of him.

After a childhood and adolescence plagued by a constant longing to know who he really is, Pierre has not the slightest idea that his questions are about to be answered. But you know what they say – be careful what you wish for…

Suddenly finding out who you are can bring with it not only happiness and fortune, but danger, friendship and the sort of swift education that the monastery could never have provided! The discovery of who Pierre really is affects not only Pierre and his friends, but has ramifications for the French nobility, the English crown, and most dangerous of all, the machinations of Cardinal Richelieu and his fierce ambition for the Church and for himself.
