The timeline for this story is set in 1681 and starts in Geneva. and goes to the French countryside, and Paris and Versailles. Isabelle, one of the main characters helps rescue Protestants, and fights the King’s men, guards, and nobility. The author vividly describes the landscape and the dramatic and colorful characters. Some of the women are courageous, complex and complicated, and will fight for their beliefs. There are betrayals, bloody battles, torture, murder and a fight for freedom. Along with several other characters Isabelle is part of the resistance.
