Creating his cycle about an incredible era that shaped the future of beautiful France, Maurice Druon painstakingly worked in the National Archives, researching ancient documents. The novels "It is not good for lilies to spin" and "The French She-Wolf" continue the cycle "Cursed Kings", this unique series of grand historical frescoes, opened by the novels "The Iron King", "The Prisoner of Chateau-Gayard" and "Poison and the Crown". The country is already losing its second king: Louis X the Swarthy, having reigned for only eighteen months, dies, leaving the queen pregnant. The life of the unborn baby, the future monarch, turns out to be a stake in the struggle for power between the most powerful representatives of the French nobility, risking to plunge France into civil war. And on the other side of the Channel, in England, Philip IV the Beautiful's daughter Isabella of France lives in constant fear and plots to organize a rebellion against her husband Edward II. The curse thrown from the fire by the Grand Master of the Templar Order, Jacques de Molay, who was burned on the orders of Philip IV, seems to be coming true. Since 1314, more than half a century French kings succeed each other on the throne, but no one stays for long. Palace intrigues, sudden deaths, dynastic coups and bloody wars still accompany this grim procession of bloody kings.
