Queen Margot – Alexandre Dumas

"Since the day that I was born, I have never had a will of my own."

In 1572, the Catholic Marguerite de Valois is married to the Protestant Henri of Navarre in a political attempt to end the French Wars of Religion. Instead, the wedding is followed by the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Margot must navigate the deadly intrigues of her mother, Catherine de' Medici, to save her husband and her lover, La Môle.

Dumas's historical romance is a gripping tale of court intrigue, poison, and betrayal. It paints a vivid picture of a royal family tearing itself apart in the pursuit of power.
