A Court of Deception. A Kingdom in Peril. A Woman Caught Between Duty and Desire.

1643, France. The war-torn kingdom is a battleground—not just on the frontlines, but within the gilded walls of the royal court. Power shifts like sand through an hourglass, and every whispered word could spark a revolution.

At the heart of it all stands a young lady-in-waiting, bound to the service of the queen. But in a court where ambition is deadly and trust is a luxury, she is more than just a spectator—she is a key player in a game where the wrong move means ruin.

She knows too much. She sees too clearly. And she can never let her heart betray her.

As Cardinal Mazarin tightens his grip on France, alliances form and shatter in the blink of an eye. One reckless decision, one secret uncovered, and she could tip the balance of power forever. But when love and loyalty come into conflict, will she risk everything to follow her heart—or sacrifice her own happiness for the fate of the crown?

A sweeping tale of ambition, espionage, and forbidden passion, The Queen’s Maid of Honour will transport you to a world of intrigue, where the cost of loyalty is measured in blood.

Perfect for fans of:

Step into 17th-century England, where history is written not just by kings and cardinals, but by the women who dared to shape their own fate.
