From Brittany's misty shores to the decadent splendor of Paris's royal court, one woman must fulfill her destiny-while facing the treacherous designs of Catherine de Medici, the dark queen. She is Ariane, the Lady of Faire Isle, one of the Cheney sisters, renowned for their mystical skills and for keeping the isle secure and prosperous. But this is a time when women of ability are deemed sorceresses, when Renaissance France is torn by ruthless political intrigues, and all are held in thrall to the sinister ambitions of Queen Catherine de Medici. Then a wounded stranger arrives on Faire Isle, bearing a secret the Dark Queen will do everything in her power to possess. The only person Ariane can turn to is the comte de Renard, a nobleman with fiery determination and a past as mysterious as his own unusual gifts. Riveting, vibrant, and breathtaking, The Dark Queen follows Ariane and Renard as they risk everything to prevent the fulfillment of a dreadful prophecy-even if they must tempt fate and their own passions.

A delightful book, well researched by the author. The life of a population in France during Catherine de Medici's 'reign', comes to life in this novel. Ariane, Lady of the Fair Isle sets forth on an adventure to protect her family from the plague of witch hunters sent to her home by none other than the darkest witch of all, The Dark Queen. With the help of friends and her new "frenemy" Renard, her dynasty will continue for generations to come. This book was so engrossing, I could not put it down. It was a cross between The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, and Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon novels. Well written and sure to stand the test of time.
