The Huguenots and the Catholics. This is a great story showing one family’s struggle during this time. I especially liked that it seemed real with the characters not always making the “right” decisions, and the fact, that you weren’t sure what would happen until the very end.
When the King Louis’ soldiers arrive at her family’s estate, Madeleine Clavell travels to Versailles to beg King Louis to intervene on her family’s behalf. After all, the king once professed his undying love to Madeleine. As the story unfolds, the king reveals details of his relationship with Madeleine to her husband, Francois. How far will Madeleine go to protect her family? How much of King Louis’ story will Francois believe? How will Madeleine react when another man admits more than a passing interest in her? And, in the end, will Madeleine’s actions help her family, or tear them apart? In the Shadow of the Sun King follows Madeleine’s journey, the king’s answer, her family’s trials and God’s ultimate triumph.
The time of kings, queen, lords, ladies, dances, and seasons comes through the pages with a fairytale type quality that leaves the reader wanting more, and Thomas Nelson and Golden Parsons deliver with A Prisoner at Versailles due out in the Fall of 2009.
In the Shadow of the Sun King is available from Thomas Nelson, ChristianBook.com, Amazon.com, and BarnesandNoble.com. Or, look for it in your favorite local bookstore.
