Little Marguerite has no memory of her parents, who died in her early childhood, but knows she belongs to the illustrious aristocratic de la Rocque family. Defiant and rebellious, she often frustrates her kindly elderly nanny, Damienne, who struggles to instill proper manners in her charge. Little do they know that terrible trials lie ahead, orchestrated by the girl's powerful guardian, Jean-François de Roberval, who, having seized the young cousin's rich inheritance, will attempt to crush her will as well.
The story of Marguerite de la Rocque's survival is all the more astonishing because it is based on true facts, recounted in treatises from the Age of Discovery. The frightening and captivating plot is enhanced by a sumptuous historical setting and subtle stylization, transforming the narrative into an exquisite tapestry.
