At the dawn of the reign of the Sun King, an ambitious actress turns to magic to advance her dreams, then poison to keep them alive.
Claude de Vin Des Oeillets rises from the bottom of Parisian society in 1660 to become both servant and lover to Madame de Montespan, a marquise with grand plans for a place in the new paradise of Versailles and the bed of Louis XIV.
A spider in a web of court intrigue and secret affairs, Claude rises ever higher, into the orbit of the King himself, but finds she must resort to dark arts and dangerous alliances on behalf of the woman she loves to stay in his golden light.
Based on the infamous "Affair of the Poisons," The Witch of Versailles combines deeply researched historical detail with the supernatural, political, and romantic in an electric combination.
Full of vivid detail, shocking twists, and searing romance, this epic tale casts a new spell on history.
