In the clockwork gardens of Versailles under the Grand Monarque, children make a daisy-chain, and the lives of the Montmirail family begin to tangle with abbés, Jesuits and the Grey Musketeers. The story follows Cerise from the French court across the sea to a plantation, where she must weigh feeling against reason.
