Blood Curse

Summary

Paris in the 21st century.
Louis xxiv is the young king of France, and his fashionable, wealthy nobles amuse themselves in the court of Versailles. Designer crinoline dresses are all the rage, and rich young aristocrats pack the trendy Paris nightclubs. But behind the scenes two rival families via for power : the Condés, rumoured to be descended from an angel ; and the Orléans, who claim a demon amongst their ancestors…
Angélique was born into this world. She’s a sweet seventeen year old, and she has a secret power : she’s an empath, able to sense the emotions of others, and she thinks her ability has gone unnoticed… until the day she has to use it, to escape an attempt on her life.
Who would want to kill her ? And why ? The answer lies deep in the files of Louis xxiv’s sinister secret service – and to seek them Angélique must first become a spy and then, perhaps, a traitor…

‘Ange possesses an undeniable talent as a storyteller, the art of recounting adventures in breath-taking fashion’
