Le Collier de la Reine, Tome II by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet
"Le Collier de la Reine, Tome II" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel published between 1849 and 1850, inspired by the infamous diamond necklace affair at Louis XVI's court. Set in 1784-1785, the story follows the impoverished Countess Jeanne de La Motte, a descendant of the Valois dynasty, who catches Queen Marie-Antoinette's attention. When a mysterious look-alike of the queen appears, intrigue unfolds involving Cardinal de Rohan, the
master manipulator Cagliostro, and a conspiracy surrounding an extravagant diamond necklace worth millions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
