About this book

Set during the turbulent Regency that followed the death of Louis XIV, this historical adventure weaves conspiracy, romance, and swordplay around a plot against the regent of France and the young heroine caught up in it. Dumas brings his incomparable gift for intrigue, dashing heroes, and headlong action to a story of loyalty, love, and political danger in eighteenth-century France. Rich in historical color and dramatic incident, it delivers the rousing entertainment that made him the master of the historical adventure. A lively tale of plots and passions from the author of The Three Musketeers, The Regent's Daughter is a satisfying romance of danger and devotion in old France.
