Opis

The book that was banned in England is now available through the Internet at Amazon.com for all the world to see. It's the story of Le Chevalier d'Eon, his major success as a master spy, and his tender love affair with seventeen year old Charlotte, Queen of England. Every English Royal knows but will forever deny it happened. The truth is not supposed to be told...ever. Not then. Not now. Never. Two experienced French spies tried to get to Russia's Empress Elizabeth. Both were jailed and killed. Le Chevalier d'Eon, conscripted into King Louis Fifteenth's small group called THE KING'S SECRET is successful and he becomes Empress Elizabeth's closest personal friend. He personally veers Russia away from England and into the French camp. All this takes Le Chevalier d'Eon away from the love of his life, the girl he is about to marry, young Princess Charlotte who's waiting for him to return to her in Mecklinburg, Germany. But too late. She is kidnapped and taken to England to be King George the Third's wife. She will be Queen of England. Reacting immediately to Charlotte's message that she needs help, d'Eon rushes to London's Saint James Court. Acknowledged as the greatest master spy of all time by Washington, D.C.'s INTERNATIONAL SPY MUSEUM, this novel is based on fact. Len d'Eon is from the same ancestral family as the Cavalier. He and his wife Barbara researched the story in Tonnerre, France, London's British Museum Library, La Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris and wherever the Cavalier's shoes took him.
