Milady

"Laura Sullivan's Milady is an enthralling historical novel, beautifully crafted and richly detailed. Its fascinating, utterly real characters and spellbinding plot twists will keep readers breathlessly turning the pages."--Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times bestselling author of Resistance Women

"As sharp and merciless as a Musketeer's blade, Milady is the historical adventure I've been waiting for, one that will leave you gasping to the very last page. Adventuress, assassin, and provocatrix, Milady de Winter is an unforgettable heroine, more than a match for any adversary. This is the story Dumas should have told."--Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of A Dangerous Collaboration

"A woman's place is no longer in the subplot and Milady de Winter is a 17th century heroine destined for the 21st century. With bold, witty writing, and a narrative that rips along, Laura L. Sullivan crafts a compelling novel for a character deserving of her own story. I loved it!"--Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter

"Sullivan's adult debut is a rousing tale of spies, love, sex, and death. It is a delight...This is truly entertaining historical fiction, an imaginative retelling of a classic from a new viewpoint." --Library Journal (starred review)

"A devious, delectable historical spy confection in which an icing of lavish court intrigue slyly masks heady doses of ripe feminism and lethal social commentary. Milady snared me in its web from the first pages and I'll be first in line for the film premiere."--Lyndsay Faye, Edgar-nominated author of Jane Steele and The Paragon Hotel

"There's nothing more satisfying than a riveting tale with a swash-buckling, cunning female spy at its center. Milady is a worthy addition to the canon of The Three Musketeers, told with well-paced, elegant prose and a keen eye for historical detail. I couldn't put the book down!"-Heather Webb, Internationally bestselling author of Last Christmas in Paris and Meet Me in Monaco

"The clever ending is certain to delight both Dumas fans and newcomers who enjoy historical fiction featuring smart, adventurous, determined women." --Booklist

"Penned by one of the best historical novelists we can claim today...This is historical suspense at its finest, which is exactly what this author is fantastic at delivering." --Suspense Magazine
