Queen Margot - Book 2: A New Translation

By Alexandre Dumas

Book Overview

Paris, 1572. A royal wedding meant to unite a divided France instead ignites a massacre.

Marguerite de Valois-beautiful, intelligent, and trapped in a web of political intrigue-is forced to marry Henri de Navarre, a Protestant prince, in a cynical attempt to reconcile Catholics and Huguenots. But the royal marriage masks a deadly conspiracy.

As the wedding celebrations unfold, the streets of Paris run red with blood during the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Amid the chaos and carnage, Margot must navigate a treacherous court where her own mother, the ruthless Catherine de Medici, plots in the shadows, her brothers scheme for power, and betrayal lurks behind every tapestry.

Caught between duty and desire, Margot finds herself drawn to the brave La M le, even as her husband fights for survival and the throne. In a world where love is dangerous and loyalty is a death sentence, she must use all her wit and courage to survive the deadliest game of all-the game of kings.

From Alexandre Dumas, author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, comes a sweeping tale of passion, poison, and political machination in one of history's bloodiest chapters.
