Follow an unpredictable journey of intrigue, scandal, love, war, and quest for the unthinkable -- The Queen's Necklace. Experience the adventures of Anne-Marie de la Marche in the Epic 18th Century Tale Daughter of France. Daughter of France follows the unpredictable journey of Anne-Marie de la Marche. When her mother, the beautiful Austrian Countess von Falkenstein, meets an untimely death by poison, Anne-Marie, must begin a new life in a foreign country with an unknown father, the powerful and influential Duke de la Marche, Prince of the Blood through the Conde line and cousin to the King of France. Despite Anne-Marie's heartfelt passion for a Cornish seaman named David Weston, her father's ambitions will separate her from that love and plunge her headlong into the intrigues and decadence of the court of Versailles, as well as place her in position to steal the heart of France's most dangerous nobleman, Louis Philippe, the Duke d'Orleans. However, Anne-Marie has her own dangerous ambitions. While anticipating death, her mother bequeathed to her an ancient and legendary diamond necklace, but it was denied her in the chaotic aftermath of her mother's passing. Anne-Marie believed the necklace lost, until she learns that it has found its way to France and been incorporated into the perilously expensive and gargantuan creation known as The Queen's Necklace, designed for Marie Antoinette herself. However, she soon discovers that there are others plotting to steal the necklace, and that even the Queen herself might be involved. Enlisting the aid of the mysterious and prescient Count di Cagliostro to help her recover it for herself, Anne-Marie becomes inextricably enmeshed in theenigmatic and portentous Affair of the Diamond Necklace that brings the monarchy of France to its knees and places her own life in perpetual danger. What will be Anne-Marie's ultimate fate? Only time can tell. Distributed through Ingram with full returnability.
