I don’t often read novels set in this time period. They just don’t interest me. I am intrigued by this one, however. Especially after looking through this e-book.

The Devil’s Queen tells the story one of Catherine de Medici, one of history’s most intriguing female figures. Born into one of Florence’s most powerful families, Catherine was left incredibly wealthy by the early death of her parents. She later went on to become the jealous wife of the Prince Henry of France, the scheming mother-in-law to Mary, Queen of Scots, the architect of the bloody St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre, and, of course, France’s most infamous Queen.
