Description
An epic saga based on the true story of an extraordinary castle in the heart of France and the remarkable women connected to its legacy. Most castles are protected by men. This castle is protected by women. 1774. Noblewoman Adrienne becomes the political partner of her husband, Marquis de Lafayette, in the fight for American independence. However, when the revolution breaks out in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must choose between renouncing the complicated man she loves or risking her life for a legacy that will inspire future generations. 1914. Socialite Beatrice from New York is a strong personality and a force of nature who fears nothing – neither her humble beginnings, nor her crumbling marriage, nor the outbreak of World War I. However, after Beatrice witnesses the devastation of France firsthand, she takes on the challenge of her life: to convince America to fight for what is right. 1940. French teacher, aspiring artist, and orphan Marthe is used to taking care of herself. She wants nothing to do with the war. But when the reality of Nazi occupation changes her life in the isolated castle where she grew up, Marthe begins to doubt who she is and, more importantly, who she is willing to become.
