Determined to give her daughter a  better life than the one she herself has lived, the young mother vows to break the  newborn’s bonds of poverty and ensure that she fulfills her destiny—to dance with  kings. Purely by chance, a drunken nobleman witnesses the birth and makes a reckless  promise to return for Marguerite in seventeen years. With those fateful words, events  are set into motion that will span three monarchies, affecting the lives of four  generations of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarguerite becomes part of the royal court of the Sun King,  but her fairy-tale existence is torn out from under her by a change of political  winds. Jasmin, Marguerite’s daughter, is born to the life of privilege her grandmother  dreamed of, but tempts fate by daring to catch the eye of the king. Violette, Marguerite’s  granddaughter, is drawn to the nefarious side of life among the nobles at Versailles.  And Rose, Violette’s daughter, becomes a lady-in-waiting and confidante to Marie  Antoinette. Through Rose, a love lost generations before will come full circle, even  as the ground beneath Versailles begins to rumble with the chaos of the coming revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365493440767,"sku":"9780307352552","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780307352552_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588077","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780307352552","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
