Echoes of Chenonceau

Claire Alden Wallingford is the descendant of the mistress of King Henri II of France, the most beautiful and wealthiest woman of her day. Fascinated with the history of Diane de Poitiers and her royal lover, Claire is delighted to visit Diane's magnificent chateau while on her honeymoon. Disturbed by vivid dreams of the life and times of Diane, she makes startling comparisons and parallels to her own life and the lives of people she knows and loves. Most disturbing is the tragic and horrifying death of King Henri, and mounting fears that her own husband will suffer the same fate. Is Claire's husband, David, somehow connected to Henri? Is Claire doomed to witness history repeat itself?
