On the eve of the First World War, a young French officer, Raoul Vignerte, takes a post as tutor at the little German court of Lautenburg-Detmold. There he falls under the spell of the Grand Duchess Aurora and stumbles on a mystery: the disappearance of her first husband and an old palace legend of the murdered Count Königsmark. The intrigues of the court close around him as war approaches.
Translated from Benoit’s best-seller Königsmark, an elegant romantic mystery for lovers of court intrigue. Download the free EPUB.
