Synopsis:
Her mother executed for witchcraft, her father dead at the hand of a
noble, Victoire Charpentier vows to rise above her poor peasant roots.
Forced to
leave her village of Lucie-sur-Vionne for domestic work in Paris, Victoire
suffers gruesome abuse under the ancien régime. Can she muster the bravery and
skill to join the revolutionary force gripping France, and overthrow the
corrupt, diabolical aristocracy?
Spirit of
Lost Angels traces the journey of a bone angel talisman passed down through
generations. The women of L’Auberge des Anges face tragedy and betrayal in a
world where their gift can be their curse.
Amidst
the tumult of revolutionary France, this is a story of courage, hope and love.
