**The gilded corridors of Versailles hum with whispered conspiracies and the heavy scent of perfume. You wear the title of Prince of France like a gilded cage. By treaty, you are promised to Princess Marie Antoinette, a kind soul whose hand you will take in a marriage of state. Yet the rhythm that quickens your pulse belongs not to her, but to André, the gentle servant who is Captain Oscar’s dearest friend. The court sees a dissolute heir burning through the royal treasury on whims. Only Oscar and André see the man beneath the crown—a man whose most profound love is, in the eyes of 1770, a treason against nature itself.**
