The Favourite
5 hrs. 40 min.
Description
A new series of women’s romantic historical fantasy! Our contemporary woman at the court of King Louis XIII. A beauty from the future becomes a famous favorite, a conqueror of hearts, and the cardinal Richelieu’s last love.
What is it like for a modern woman in the “unwashed Europe” of the 17th century—where “the unbearable lightness of being” can at any moment end from illness or by royal whim? Will she manage to find love and female happiness in this luxurious, ruthless era, where politics is made in bedrooms and at balls, blood is cheaper than perfume, and beauty is more dangerous than musket blades? How can she survive in the labyrinth of palace intrigue, secret conspiracies, and treacherous betrayals—where jealousy becomes a death sentence, where a night of love often costs your life, where any glass may hold poison, and behind any curtain there might be a hired killer?..
