Paris, 1393. A masquerade ball at the palace ends in tragedy, with
four revellers burned to death. Was it an accident... or did
someone deliberately hurl a flaming torch at the dancers? Convinced
it was an act of murder and that the king himself was the real
target, Queen Isabeau has asked Christine de Pizan to spend time at
court in an attempt to uncover the identity of the would-be
assassin. With the king struck down by an illness no one can
understand, Christine finds the palace to be a hotbed of rumour,
suspicion, petty rivalries and dark secrets: a place where no one
can be trusted. Could the king's ambitious brother, the Duke of
Orleans, be responsible for the deaths? One of his embittered
uncles? Or could the killer lie even closer to home.?
