What motivated this Renaissance woman who was born of Florence's most powerful family, and one day came to rule France? In her latest historical fiction bestseller, Jeanne Kalogridis tells the story of Caterina, a tender young girl, destined to be a pawn in Machiavellian games. Left a fabulously rich heiress, imprisoned and threatened by her family's enemies, she was finally married off to a handsome prince of France. Overshadowed by her husband's mistress, the conniving Diane de Poitiers, and now consort to a King, Catherine resorted to sorcery to win his love, enhance her fertility and foil her enemies. Against the lavish and decadent backdrop of the French court, and Catherine's visions induced by the black arts, Kalogoris reveals the great love and desire Catherine bore for her husband Henry, and her stark determination to keep her sons on the throne. A tale based on the life of the sixteenth-century monarch describes her status as a Machiavellian pawn before her marriage to Henry II of France, her rivalry with her husband's conniving mistress, and her determined efforts to keep her sons on the throne. 125,000 first printing. AnnotationJeanne Kalogridis re-imagines the life of Catherine de Medici in this dramatic and engaging historical romance. After marrying the King of France, Catherine makes a deal with the devil, giving him her soul in exchange for the promise that she will produce worthy heirs to the throne. Kalogridis paints a vivid portrait of the period that will surely delight fans of historical fiction. If You Enjoy "The Devil's Queen (Book)", May We Also Recommend:
