They murdered her father. Seized her lands. Cast her into the gutters of Paris. Now Evangeline de Valbelle wants her life back.
 
After witnessing her father's execution, seventeen-year-old Evangeline is left with nothing but her noble name—now a curse that marks her as an enemy of the crown. Surviving on the streets of Paris, she discovers that revenge requires more than rage: it demands access to power.
Her solution is audacious: seduce and marry Count Axel von Fersen, the Swedish diplomat rumored to be Queen Marie-Antoinette's secret lover. If she can steal the Queen's heart's desire, she can destroy her from within the glittering halls of Versailles.
But Evangeline's carefully laid plans unravel when she realizes she's falling for the very man she intended to use. As court intrigue thickens and enemies close in, she must choose between the revenge that has sustained her and the love that could save her—or destroy them both.
 
The Road to Versailles is a tale of vengeance, survival, and forbidden love set against the opulent backdrop of 18th-century French court. Perfect for readers who love the political intrigue of Philippa Gregory and the romantic tension of Diana Gabaldon.
