Description

Raised to the duties of a man from her birth (the result of the desires of her father, General Jarjayes), Lady Oscar Jarjayes is the captain of the royal guards at the Versailles Palace in the years leading up to the French Revolution. Though her beauty and noble spirit made her a shining figure in the eyes of both men and women, she is torn in the conflict between her upbringing as a man, forced into a life of service and duty to the monarch, and her heart and desires as a woman. She lives as a noble amidst the opulence of Versailles but her keen senses and compassion are not blinded to the poverty of the French people. Unfortunately, the young queen Marie Antoinette's ill fate is well documented in history. How will Oscar, whose life is so closely entwined to the queen's, both as a bodyguard and as a friend, be able to survive the chaos of the French Revolution?
