Unveiling the cover of an exhilarating new historical thriller by Nancy Bilyeau! THE VERSAILLES FORMULA is now available for pre-order!
Discover The Versailles Formula: A Historical Thriller to Anticipate
My friend Nancy Bilyeau has a new historical thriller coming out this spring called THE VERSAILLES FORMULA. This is the third in Nancy's 18th-century Genevieve Planché series, but it can be read alone. Check out this beautiful cover! ABOUT THE VERSAILLES FORMULA: Genevieve craved purpose. She found danger. Now, there may be no turning back. Genevieve Sturbridge was never meant for a quiet life in the English countryside. Once an artist in the heart of London, she now spends her days in restless solitude. But when a familiar figure from her past arrives with an urgent request, she is thrust into a perilous world of spies and a formula that could shift the balance of power between France and England.
