The son of young Aurora von Koenigsmarck and Frederick Augustus the Strong, Count Moritz of Saxony, went through a difficult path from a “sweet little bastard” to the chief marshal of France. He dreamed of becoming a king, but became famous on the battlefield and became a great military leader. He loved the most beautiful women, and they reciprocated his love. The magnificent Moritz, whose name was pronounced with equal trepidation by enemies and friends, is revealed from an unexpected side on the pages of the novel: as a clever court diplomat and an unrivaled lover.
