Product Description

1667. The civil wars are over & King Louis XIV is on the French throne.

To keep the nobles from their plots to overthrow his crown, the King gathers the court at Versailles. He plans to keep them there under his scrutiny by building the greatest palace the world has ever seen.

The Palace of Versailles will be an opulent prison where Louis power is absolute.

The nobles have no choice but to play Louis game of manipulation & treachery. As tensions rise the court becomes a battlefield of tactical liaisons & salacious passions.

Versailles is not the paradise it appears to be; instead, it is a labyrinth of treason & secrets, of political schemes & deadly conspiracies. It is a place of passion & death, love & vengeance.

Now a major BBC Drama.
