Paris, the French capital, is engulfed in flames of uprising. Fleeing enemies of the crown, the king and his entourage run from Paris. But not all the residents of the Louvre manage to leave the capital seized by the rebels. Persistent visions promising death to innocent souls force Madeleine Blanchard, the granddaughter of Michel Nostradamus, to stay in the city swarming with enemies. Yet the girl is troubled not only by someone else’s death. A gypsy prophecy warns Madeleine about a triple betrayal—one that will painfully wound her heart and put her freedom and life in jeopardy.
