Lutin's Heir

The anticipated followup to Lord Carabas and Cry Mesuline! Seventeenth Century a city of intrigue, divination, illicit romance and murder. Louis XIII is dead, Louis XIV serves as the child puppet of Mazarin while the nobles of France seethe with bitterness. Developing precognition brings Jules disturbing visions he can't quite comprehend. Something runs rampant through his chateau turning his household upside down. Bereft of his former patron, Richelieu, Jules must ally himself with his most hated foe to humiliate those of purer blood who scorn him. He, his grown sons, and his lover Curran engage in spiteful games meant to disgrace an arrogant old woman with the keys to Jules' past. Will a harridan's ruin be worth the sacrifice Jules will make?
