Book III of the French Revolution series. At the age of fifteen, the beautiful and charming Marie Antoinette is married off to the impotent Dauphin of France to secure a political alliance. She is plunged into the political minefield that was Versailles. With no idea or guidance, and married to an impotent man, she becomes frivolous and reckless, flouting the strict and demanding etiquette of the Court. But the clouds of revolution are overhead...The foundation for the French Revolution was laid long before her birth and history has judged her harshly in determining her as the sole cause of the destruction of the French monarchy.
