Sensual, innocent, indomitable, a little strange, frivolous and cruel - this is Baptistine de Villeneuve-Caramey, a young and beautiful orphan girl. Almost unconsciously, thanks to her youth and incomparable beauty, Baptistine seduces all the men she meets on her ways. Will she resist the charms of Louis XV himself, nicknamed the Beloved, or will she surrender to William Augustus, the English prince? Or will she become the mistress of the famous Marshal Maurice of Saxony? Or will she fall in love with a green-eyed stranger, the same one who appears to her in a dream? Will the proud, arrogant Marquis of Portjoie, in other words, the handsome Floris, too spoiled by the attention of women, manage to tame this flighty beauty? Where will Baptistine find her destiny? In the intimate royal chambers in Compiegne or in the ceremonial halls of Versailles? Or maybe she will meet love on the battlefield of Fontenoy or in the middle of the ocean, where she will rush in search of happiness? In America, where the slave trade flourishes? On the banks of the Mississippi?
