An Enemy to the King
Publisher Description
He is a 21-year old Huguenot, so he anticipates that he will not be welcomed with open arms by the court of Henry III. Nonetheless, he manages to join the French Guard.
de la Tournoire is interested in Mlle. D'Arency, who asks him to kill De Noyard for her. Naturally he refuses. Mlle. D'Arency conspires with Queen Catherine De Medici to trick him into the task. This makes an enemy of the Duke of Guise, so de la Tournoire is inadvertently caught in the queen's conspiracy.
The King's sister, Marguerite, hides him from Catherine's machinations and sends him on a mission to her husband, Henri of Navarre. Henri makes him a Captain in his guards, where he flourishes. His adventures include assisting Mlle. De Varion in rescuing her father from prison--her father was imprisoned for sheltering Huguenots.
