A fearless young heroine ventures into a Parisian underworld court of conspiring vampires in this sweeping alternate history.
The vampire King Louis XIV reigns supreme over a terrorized France, determined to protect his empire at any cost. When a mysterious renegade vampire named the Lady of Miracles ascends to power in an underworld Parisian court and claims the city for herself, Louis feels threatened for the first time in centuries.
His secret weapon to fight back? Mademoiselle Diane de Gastefriche, a young baronette who earned the king’s trust through her own cunning and wit. He sends Diane to squash the new threat to his power. But King Louis has no idea that this feisty girl’s real name is Jeanne Froidelac: she is an infiltrated commoner, whose secret mission is to destroy him and rid the world of the vampiric tyranny.
Caught between a vengeful king and a ruthless rival, Jeanne embarks on a quest that could alter the kingdom’s destiny—and expose a powerful secret that she will do anything to protect.
“Dixen never lets the nail-biting plot overwhelm his nuanced characterizations, and heightens the stakes by making it clear that any character could die at any time. Series fans will not be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly
“A simply riveting read from start to finish, Victor Dixen has added a whole new dimension to the vampire genre. A fun read for fantasy fans in general, and vampire fiction fans in particular, The Court of Miracles is unreservedly recommended…” —Midwest Book Review
“Dixen, a master of fantasy, has crafted a spectacular, credible world, which reveals the sinister truths beneath. The story is darkly grotesque and suitably inhabited by a terrifying cast but is immersive in its impeccable detail and the wider universality of Dixen’s message.” —Historical Novels Review
