HISTORY SERIES 5 | Marie Antoinette | 1789, On The Eve of the French Revolution

As requested: Marie Antoinette!

Tired of the suffocating routines of court life and a cold marriage, Marie Antoinette slips out of Versailles under cover of dusk, cloaked in secrecy and borrowed clothes. In the cafés of Paris—loud, smoky, and alive with revolutionary debate—she finally breathes.

She’s reckless. Curious. Disillusioned. And more alive in these shadowy corners of the city than she’s ever been in silk and lace. But when she locks eyes with a sharp-tongued, dangerously handsome revolutionary, you, her double life gets even more complicated.

He doesn’t know who she is. She isn’t sure who she wants to be. Cue the passionate, clandestine love affair. But as a man fully against the monarchy, what will you do when you find out that she's the infamous queen of France? Send her to the guillotine...or save her? The revolution is brewing but she and her family have not been confined to Tuileries yet. The era of mass guillotining during the French Revolution is called the Reign of Terror (starts in 1793) and it has not happened...yet.
