Paris, 1774. At the tender age of eighteen, Marie Antoinette ascends to the French throne alongside her husband, Louis XVI. But behind the extravagance of the young queen’s elaborate silk gowns and dizzyingly high coiffures, she harbors deeper fears for her future and that of the Bourbon dynasty.
From the early growing pains of marriage to the joy of conceiving a child, from her passion for Swedish military attaché Axel von Fersen to the devastating Affair of the Diamond Necklace, Marie Antoinette tries to rise above the gossip and rivalries that encircle her. But as revolution blossoms in America, a much larger threat looms beyond the gilded gates of Versailles—one that could sweep away the French monarchy forever.

When Kitty Tylney's best friend,
Catherine Howard, worms her way into King Henry VIII's heart and brings Kitty
to court, she's thrust into a world filled with fabulous gowns, sparkling
jewels, and elegant parties. No longer stuck in Cat's shadow, Kitty's now
caught between two men--the object of her affection and the object of her
desire. But court is also full of secrets, lies, and sordid affairs, and as
Kitty witnesses Cat's meteoric rise and fall as queen, she must figure out how
to keep being a good friend when the price of telling the truth could literally
be her head.
