"Angelique and the King is the story of two people: Angelique, married to her cousin Phillippe, Marquis du Plessis-Belliere, master of the Royal Hunt, Marshal of France, a proud and magnificent courtier, but a brutal husband and a callous lover; and Louis XIV, the Sun King himself, at this time still virile and ambitious, on the threshold of his greatest victories - both in love and war."
