Summary:

The mad passion for forbidden lace has infiltrated France, pulling soldier and courtier alike into its web. For those who want the best, Flemish lace is the only choice, an exquisite perfection of thread and air. For those who want something they don't have, Flemish lace can buy it. For Lisette, lace begins her downfall, and the only way to atone for her sins is to outwit the noble who demands an impossible length of it. For Katharina, lace is her salvation. If she cannot make this stunning tempest of threads, a dreaded fate awaits.
