From the glittering ballrooms of 17th Century England to the dangerous intrigues of the French court, Laura L. Sullivan brings an unlikely heroine to the page, turning on its head everything we’ve been told about The Three Musketeers and their ultimate rival.
 
I’ve gone by many names, though you most likely know me as Milady de Winter: Villainess. Seductress. A secondary player in someone else’s tale.
 
It’s finally time I tell my own story. The truth isn’t tidy or convenient, but it’s certainly more interesting.
 
Before you cast judgment, let me start at the beginning, and you shall learn how an innocent girl from the countryside became the most feared woman in all of Europe.
 
Because we all know history was written by men, and they so often get things wrong.

      In a purring voice, Elizabeth Knowelden narrates the story of the life and times of Clarise "Milady" de Winter, the nemesis of the Three Musketeers and D'Artagnan. It's an interesting spin on Dumas's classic novel. Milady is not a pleasant character--she's manipulative, seductive, and quite the villainess. As the slow-moving story is told in two timelines, 1615-16 and 1628, Knowelden's voice flows with the sweeping sentences in a style reminiscent of nineteenth-century writers like Dumas, who were masters of language and description. Using subtle inflections to differentiate the characters, Knowelden becomes Milady as she looks back over her career as a spy and an imaginative assassin. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
