Synopsis
Alice Verney is a young woman intent on achieving her dreams. Having left Restoration England in the midst of a messy scandal, she has been living in Louis XIV' s Baroque, mannered France for two years. Now she is returning home to England and anxious to re-establish herself quickly. First, she will regain her former position as a maid of honor to Charles II' s queen. Then she will marry the most celebrated duke of the Restoration, putting herself in a position to attain power she' s only dreamed of. As a duchess, Alice will be able to make or break her friends and enemies at will. But all is not as it seems in the rowdy, merry court of Charles II. Since the Restoration, old political alliances have frayed, and there are whispers that the king is moving to divorce his barren queen, who some wouldn' t mind seeing dead. But Alice, loyal only to a select few, is devoted to the queen, and so sets out to discover who might be making sinister plans, and if her own father is one of them. When a member of the royal family dies unexpectedly, and poison is suspected, the stakes are raised. Alice steps up her efforts to find out who is and isn' t true to the queen, learns of shocking betrayals throughout court, and meets a man that she may be falling in love with-- and who will spoil all of her plans. With the suspected arrival of a known poison-maker, the atmosphere in the court electrifies, and suddenly the safety of the king himself seems uncertain. Secret plots are at play, and war is on the horizon-- but will it be with the Dutch or the French? And has King Charles himself betrayed his country for greed? The long-awaited prequel to Koen' sbeloved "Through a Glass Darkly," "Dark Angels" is a feast of a novel that sparkles with all the passion, extravagance, danger, and scandal of seventeenth-century England. Unforgettable in its dramatic force, here is a novel of love and politics, of romance and betrayal, of power and succession-- and of a resourceful young woman who risks everything for pride and status in an era in which women were afforded little of either., The prequel to "Through a Glass Darkly" tells the story of the formidable Alice Verney, a.k.a. the dowager Duchess of Tamworth, in her much younger days at the treacherous court of Charles II., The prequel to Through a Glass Darkly tells the story of the formidable Alice Verney, a.k.a. the dowager Duchess of Tamworth, in her much younger days at the treacherous court of Charles II.

    While the cover is not like new and fell apart upon package opening, the pages inside do match the "like new" quality described by the seller. So, this is still a positive experience and good value for what I need the magazine for. The seller packaged well with cardboard backer and shipped fast. I still recommend this seller and would deal with again! Thank you for the magazine I was looking for.

    My entire experience with this vendor was thoroughly positive! Not only did the book I order arrive earlier than anticipated, but given how well it was secured for transit, it suffered no damage. In fact, its condition precisely matched the listing description and the many photos provided. I only have so much to say as I had no issues come up whatsoever. In the end, I applaud this vendor for their exemplary customer service! I can't be any happier with what I received!!
