One of the daughters has to be the sacrificial lamb. Their youngest is the obvious choice. As she's taken from her home in Château de Chambord, Lady Geneviève yearns to run back to her carefree life and secret love.
Locked in a convent, the spirited young noblewoman chafes against the tyranny of a cruel abbess and stifling abbey. Searching for a way out, Geneviève transforms from the dutiful daughter whose greatest crime is her inability to sit still. She grows into a rebel, silently railing against the wrongs of Church and Family.
The French Revolution, hell-bent on dismantling the monarchy, blasts open the doors of its closest ally, the Church. As Geneviève and the other nuns are blown into this hostile new world, her eyes are opened to the people's suffering. Her sister secretly embroils her in a scheme to restore the king's power. Will Geneviève remain her family's pawn or find a way to follow her heart through these dangerous times?
A captivating blend of passion, betrayal, and historical intrigue! A beautifully told story that lingers long after the last page. -Goodreads review
