Overview
Ā
With a beautiful rival whoās better connected and better trained than she is, AdĆ©laĆÆde faces an uphill battle. Her love affair with her young instructor in oil painting gives rise to suspicions that he touches up her work, and her decision to make much-needed money by executing erotic pastels threatens to create as many problems as it solves. Meanwhile, her rival goes from strength to strength, becoming Marie Antoinetteās official portraitist and gaining entrance to the elite AcadĆ©mie Royale at the same time as AdĆ©laĆÆde.Ā
Ā
When at last AdĆ©laĆÆde earns her own royal appointment and receives a massive commission from a member of the royal family, the timing couldnāt be worse: itās 1789, and with the fall of the Bastille her world is turned upside down by political chaos and revolution. With danger around every corner in her beloved Paris, she must find a way adjust to the new order, carving out a life and a career all over againāand stay alive in the process.Ā
