Love and Pride
There will be more than one man in your life...  --  Alexandrine d'Albert - country bred, convent reared - and newly married to elderly Luc Boussieres, Marquis de Meziere, refused to believe Solange, the gypsy fortune teller. If she stays faithful to his death, Luc will make her a rich young widow; an easy vow to give before Alain Ratan, Due de Balaincourt, invaded her safe existence. Nothing had prepared her for the glittering, immoral court of Louis XV.  A world of gaiety, high living - of intrigue and deception - of betrayal!

Beware the hunter when coloured lights fill the sky... Solange's second prophecy would determine Alexandrine's future... and she was helpless to prevent it.
