In mid-16th century France, at the royal court, the queen's spies use their charms and talents to disarm her enemies and learn their secrets, often in the bedchamber. Among them is the young and naive Gabrielle, who's trying to find her place in the so-called "flying squadron" of Catherine de' Medici. Author Manon Textoris offers an exquisite and charming account of courtly life.
