A brand-new historical novel from a well-loved storyteller - Henriette d'Entragues isn't satisfied with simply being the mistress of Henry IV of France; she wants a crown too. Despite his promises to marry her, the King is obliged by political necessity to ally himself with a rich Italian princess. But Henriette isn't one for giving up easily. All she has to do to achieve her ambition is to give Henry a son, and then do whatever it takes to set him on the throne . . .

I do not like Henriette. "OFF WITH HER HEAD" kept running through my mind while reading this book. I have a soft spot for the Medici women, they were pawns in the political games of the times. Marie de Medici is no exception. This is actually the third book in a series. I encourage you to read all three. Not much is written about this time period, and Ms Lightfoot has done a great job with her research. Book one is THE HOSTAGE QUEEN and deals with Henry of Navarre and his wife Margot, Book two is THE RELUCTANT QUEEN and we meet Gabrielle d'Estrees and of course, book three THE QUEEN AND THE COURTESAN deals with Henry IV and his wife, Marie de Medici and his mistress Henriette d'Entragues.
