A Secret Pledge. A Throne in Peril. The Price of Loyalty is Love. From the master of swashbuckling adventure and historical romance, Alexandre Dumas delivers a gripping tale of hidden identity, courtly honor, and the extraordinary lengths a woman will go to for the man she loves.
The year is 1555. Across the battlefields of Europe, the fate of nations hangs upon the fortunes of war, and the charismatic Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, stands poised to reclaim his ancestral throne. Among the dazzling ranks of his court is the handsome, enigmatic young page, Henri de Brienne, whose flawless service and fierce loyalty conceal a dangerous secret: Henri is, in fact, the noblewoman Helene de la Font, deeply in love with the Duke and pledged to protect him at all costs.
As plots thicken, alliances shift, and the shadows of betrayal lengthen across the French court, Helene must maintain her desperate disguise. She finds herself navigating a labyrinth of political intrigue, royal rivalries, and the perilous passions of her own heart. When war erupts in the dramatic Battle of Saint Quentin, Helene must choose between her solemn duty to her master and the forbidden love that threatens to expose her, shatter her world, and change the course of history forever.
