Summary
In spirit, there was nothing diminutive about Louise de la Valli?re, known to her family as "Petite." A rambunctious girl who could tame the wildest stallion, the impoverished and unmarriageable Petite was also able to tame the heart of the legendary Sun King, Louis XIV. Once she had captured his eye, Petite was quickly ensconced in his court, where, as his mistress, she was elevated to a titled position. Such a meteoric rise was bound to attract attention of the wrong sort, and Petite's life was filled with the terrors and tragedies that accompany all internecine tales of palace intrigue. c2008
