When his sister is mysteriously killed, D'Eon de Beaumont - a member of the King's secret police, uncovers a conspiracy that spans the continent and extends deeper into France than anyone could have imagined.

The story is loosely based on the true story of a French spy/diplomat whose exploits spanned several countries - and genders.
