Daughter of Silk
“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write....Fear none of those things which you shall suffer.
Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have
tribulation ten days; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”
Rev. 2:8a,10
Description:
Learning the family silk trade, a young heiress is swept up in the dangerous tide of French history.
Pursuing the family name as the finest silk producer in Lyon, the young Huguenot Rachelle
Dushane Macquinet is thrilled to accompany her famous couturier Grandmere to Paris, there to
create a silk trousseau for the Royal Princess Marguerite Valois.
The Court is magnificent; its regent, Catherine de Medici, deceptively charming . . . and the
circumstances, darker than Rachelle could possibly imagine. At a time in history when the tortures of
the Bastille and the fiery stake are an almost casual consequence in France, a scourge of
recrimination is moving fast and furious against the Huguenots—and as the Queen Mother's
political intrigues weave a web of deception around her, Rachelle finds herself in imminent danger.
With a powerful people scheming against her, Rachelle refuses to denounce her Huguenot faith and
turn to the state religion. She is challenged to assist the handsome Marquis Fabien de Vendome to
learn the wicked plot against his royal kin. But to do so, Rachelle must follow a perilous course—one
that requires her to enter the very bedchamber of the Queen Mother.
