Milady de Winter has been betrayed. And now she’s out for revenge.

Alexandre Dumas’ iconic femme fatale returns in Lucy Catherine’s wicked retelling of the story of the Three Musketeers’ deadliest adversary.

Milady finds herself at a crossroads. Betrayed by her benefactor and fraternising with dangerous new allies, she has to make a choice. Where should her allegiance lie? Or is the only person she can really trust herself?
