take another look at Karleen Koen's engrossing novel, Before Versailles.
Before Versailles transports you to a world of secret passions and plots, a world of duplicity and malice...a world that created one of the bestknown monarchs to grace the French throne.
At the most decisive time in the young king's life, Louis XIV can taste the danger. His court teems with greed and corruption, the wrong woman draws him into a wrenching love affair, and a mysterious boy in an iron mask haunts the woods. The untried ruler is coming into his own in 1661, and Louis XIV must face what he is willing to sacrifice for honor and for love.
Meticulously researched and gorgeously brought to life by New York Times bestselling author Karleen Koen, Before Versailles offers up a sumptuous, authentic exploration of a time that forged a man into a king.
Karleen Koen is the author of the international bestselling novel, Through a Glass Darkly, which was first published in 1986, after having been acquired by Random House for a then-record-breaking figure for a first novel. Over 2 million copies have been sold in the US alone and the book was on the New York Times Bestseller List for five consecutive months. Auctions were held for all major foreign markets, and it went on to be a bestseller in each of these countries. The sequel, Now Face to Face, was published by Random House in 1996. She is also the author of Now Face to Face (Random House, 1996) and Dark Angels (Crown, 2006).
