Resumen del Editor

A sumptuous historical fantasy romance set in the court of the Sun King: now a major motion picture starring Pierce Brosnan as King Louis XIV and Fan Bingbing as the Mermaid.

Can she find the courage to defy a king?

In 17th-century France, Louis XIV rules with flamboyant ambition. In his domain, wealth and beauty are all; frivolity begets cruelty; science and alchemy collide. From the Hall of Mirrors to the vermin-infested attics of the Chateau at Versailles, courtiers compete to please the king, sacrificing fortune, principles and even sacred family bonds.

By the 50th year of his reign, Louis XIV has made France the most powerful state in the Western world, but the Sun King's appetite for glory knows no bounds. In a bold stroke, he sends his natural philosopher on an expedition to seek the source of immortality: the mythical sea monster. For the glory of his God, his country and his king, Father Yves de la Croix returns with his treasures: one heavy shroud packed in ice...and in a covered basin, an imprisoned sea-creature.

Marie-Josephe de la Croix has been looking forward to assisting her brother, Yves, in the scientific study of the sea monster, until she makes a discovery that will threaten everything her brother, the court and the king believe.

But in the decadent court of King Louis, where morality is skewed and corruption reigns, will anyone listen to a single voice? Somehow, she must find the courage to follow her heart and her convictions - even at the cost of changing her life forever.
