Cousins to the King of Navarre, the Cleves sisters witness the glamour and danger of the French royal court firsthand. The youngest sister Marie languishes in an unhappy arranged marriage with her cousin, Henri, Prince de Conde. Determined to make the best of her situation, she awaits the wedding of the King of Navarre in Paris.

Paris of 1572 boils with religious war, and few will make it out of the wedding celebrations alive. Along with the threat of death comes a change for true love with the king's younger son, the Duc . Yet Marie promised to love honor and cherish her husband till death did them part. Will death part them soon? Is it possible to find love amidst tragedy?

Book Two: Lady of the Court

Eldest sister, Henriette, sits at the apex of the royal court, wife to one of King Henri III's most trusted advisors
In a country torn apart by religious war, things can change in an instant, and no one in France is safe. Henriette is desperate to hold on to her life, and hand it on to the next generation. To do so, she must have an heir, something that she has so far failed to do.

Book Three: Fate’s Mistress

Middle sister, Catherine, is married to the Duc de Guise, the most rabid Catholic in France. Ambitious and well-connected, Guise is the main rival for the French throne which is currently occupied by an unpopular Henri III.

Guise managed to win concessions from Henri, but concessions come with a steep price on his head. As his Duchesse, Catherine is in a dangerous position of her own. Determined to play her part in bringing about the downfall of the Valois and the rise of the Guise, Catherine will risk her own safety.
