- The Conspirators; or The Chevalier d'Harmental
1
Part of a duology about the life of King Louis XV, "The Conspirators; or the Chevalier d'Harmental" follows the conspiracy against Phillip II, Duke of Orleans, regent of the infant King. Of his work on the period, it is considered among Dumas' best by critics and fans alike.It is a thrilling novel, threaded through with romance, political conspiracy, and the epic clash between the Church and the Crown, for the support of the people. From the brilliant mind behind 'The Three Musketeers', it is another brilliant gem in his already epic body of work, perfect for anyone who loves historical fiction or the intrigue of Netflix's 'The King'.-
- Une Fille du Régent
2
Le régent de France, Philippe d'Orléans, a décidé de reprendre en main l'éducation de sa fille illégitime, Hélène de Chaverny. Il lui impose de quitter le couvent de Clisson où il l'a fait élever, et de rejoindre Paris.Cependant, Hélène voue un amour inconditionnel pour Gaston de Chanlay. Alors que tous deux rejoignent la capitale, les motivations secrètes de Gaston menace l'intégrité de leur couple : mêlé à la conspiration bretonne, il cherche à éliminer le Régent... Alexandre Dumas offre à la fois une description historique de la France du XVIIIe et des complots qui y sévissent, et une histoire d'amour bouleversée par un secret vite mis au jour.-
- The Regent's Daughter
2
A sequel to "The Conspirators; or the Chevalier d'Harmental", "The Regent's Daughter" is the second entry on the regency of the young King Louis XV. Much of the story focuses on Gaston de Chanley, a young man torn between his love and his dedication to the murder of the regent Duke of Orleans. It is a fascinating read because of how Dumas' brings these historical figures to life, powerful and threatening dukes are in essence paper tigers who without their cabal of support would crumble. It is a political tinder box built on smoke and mirrors that threatens to go up at any minute. Reminiscent of Walter Scott's work, it is a powerful plot, threaded with intrigue, romance, love and blood. It is a novel that brings pre-revolutionary France to life in a way many readers will not have experienced and is perfect for anyone who loved the intrigue of Netflix's 'The Crown'.-
