Gaston's prose is lovely and compulsively readable, driven by and in service of the dynamic plot. Anne's voice shines through the page. As a protagonist she captivates and balances well with Louis, whose story feels fresh and new." -Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize "In this fourth installment of a series revolving around Anne of Brittany, Gaston once again displays an extraordinary knowledge of the period, an erudite mastery evident on every page. She achieves an impressive historical authenticity, translating an intricate story into a captivating drama. Anne is a mesmerizingly complex character-decent yet calculating, fierce yet vulnerable. Gaston's writing avoids melodrama-but not at the expense of flair and emotional poignancy. An engrossing and rigorously researched work of historical fiction." - Kirkus Reviews
