Mistress Of The Sun by Sandra Gulland
Born to modest provincial beginnings, a charismatic and ambitious woman is swept into the glittering and treacherous world of Louis XIV’s court, becoming the king’s intoxicating favorite and wielding great influence through beauty, wit and calculated charm. As she navigates rivalries, lavish entertainments and the politics of desire at Versailles, her power grows alongside lavish excess and moral compromise, until whispers of dark intrigues and the notorious Affair of the Poisons threaten to unravel her standing and force a reckoning with faith, love and ruin. The novel paints an intimate, richly detailed portrait of ambition and downfall amid the excesses of the Sun King’s reign.
