Interesting Facts
- This novel brings to life an era when the royal power of France hung by a thread, and the fates of nations were decided in the shadows of Gothic cathedrals and the dark corridors of castles.
- The author skillfully weaves real historical events into the narrative, allowing the reader to feel the breath of the times and hear the echoes of intrigues that shaped the course of European history.
- Vivid character portraits, as if carved from ancient engravings, reveal the inner worlds of monarchs—their passions, fears, and fatal mistakes that led to the fall of a once-mighty dynasty.
- Special attention is paid to the symbolism of power: the crown, scepter, and throne become not only attributes but also a heavy burden that not everyone can bear.
- The novel is filled with an atmosphere of doom and foreboding change, where even the most powerful are powerless before the relentless march of history.
