The Court of Miracles Victor Dixen 9781662505737

A fearless young heroine ventures into a Parisian underworld court of conspiring vampires in this sweeping alternate history. The vampire King Louis XIV reigns supreme over a terrorized France, determined to protect his empire at any cost. When a mysterious renegade vampire named the Lady of Miracles ascends to power in an underworld Parisian court and claims the city for herself, Louis feels threatened for the first time in centuries. His secret weapon to fight back? Mademoiselle Diane de Gastefriche, a young baronette who earned the king's trust through her own cunning and wit. He sends Diane to squash the new threat to his power. But King Louis has no idea that this feisty girl's real name is Jeanne Froidelac: she is an infiltrated commoner, whose secret mission is to destroy him and rid the world of the vampiric tyranny. Caught between a vengeful king and a ruthless rival, Jeanne embarks on a quest that could alter the kingdom's destiny-and expose a powerful secret that she will do anything to protect.

About the Author
Two-time winner of the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire, Victor Dixen stands at the forefront of French fantasy. His acclaimed series include Animale, Phobos, Cogito, Extincta, and Vampyria. A nomadic writer, he has lived in Paris, Dublin, Singapore, New York, and now Washington, DC, drawing inspiration from the promises of the future as much as the ghosts of the past. In the second volume of the Vampyria Saga, Dixen transports readers into a shiver-inducing and fantastical adventure-a breathtaking search into the depths of Paris, where the City of Light has long been extinguished and turned into the City of Shadows.
