A baby abandoned in the palace gardens leads scribe sleuth
Christine de Pizan into a mystery involving murder, superstition
and scandal in fourteenth-century France. Paris, 1396. Scribe
Christine de Pizan is shocked when the Duke of Orleans' fools find
a baby, wrapped in rags and covered in sores, abandoned in the
palace gardens. Was there really a wicked plan to substitute the
child for the queen's own baby daughter and blame the Duchess of
Orleans, Valentina Visconti? Who would commit such an evil act, and
why? Accused of being a sorceress, Valentina is the victim of much
slander and has powerful enemies at the palace, where rumours of
witchcraft and superstition run riot. Convinced of the duchess's
innocence, Christine is determined to uncover the truth, and soon
makes a number of disturbing discoveries. Could the palace fools be
the key to unlocking the mystery?
