The Regent's Daughter by Alexandre Dumas

Set in early-18th-century France during the regency, the novel follows a courageous young woman entangled in court intrigues, romantic entanglements, and dangerous political conspiracies as rival factions scheme for power; adventures, duels, betrayals and daring rescues unfold against a richly detailed backdrop of decadence and shifting loyalties, where personal honor and ambition collide with the precarious fate of the realm.
