About this audiobook
His Majesty's Well-Beloved is a tale of romance, intrigue, and betrayal set in the glittering but treacherous court of Louis XV. At the center of the story is a young noblewoman whose beauty and wit draw her into the perilous world of royal favor, where ambition, jealousy, and desire rule. Loved by the King yet caught between her heart's devotion and the dangers of courtly intrigue, she must navigate a labyrinth of passion and politics where one false step could mean ruin. With its mix of romance, suspense, and richly drawn historical detail, Baroness Orczy's novel captures the splendor and danger of 18th-century France, proving that being the object of royal affection is as dangerous as it is intoxicating.
