Paris, 1572. For ten violent years, the Wars of Religion have raged across France. But now, peace has been brokered and a royal wedding negotiated that could see the country reunited at last.
An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding. What Minou doesn’t know is that her family’s oldest enemy will also be there, that the Jouberts will soon be scattered to the winds after tragedy strikes, and that a beloved child will disappear without a trace . . .
