AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the glittering world of 18th-century Paris, an exquisitely beautiful and darkly mysterious Italian aristocrat who speaks French like a native, matches wits with the intellectuals of the day and gambles like a man, has the city at her feet. But the celebrated Marchesina Di Novi has a secret that would destroy her. Beneath the glamorous mask of an Italian socialite is a runaway Créole slave from Martinique who has sworn an oath to destroy her Master and free her people. Now she is gambling with her life to win a fortune and her freedom.' (Source: back cover, 1998 edition)
