Being royalty is hard enough, but when your secrets could change your life…
Seventeenth-century France. Louis de Bourbon isn't a real prince—even though his father is King Louis XIV.
The illegitimate son of the King and his mistress, Louise de La Vallière, young Louis has been kept far from the court's eyes until summoned to bid adieu to his mother. To atone for her guilt, she joins a convent, abandoning Louis to an uncertain future. When Louis is humiliated by his father for his role in a secret society, he struggles to redeem himself through heroism and self-sacrifice on the battlefield in his father’s army.
Will Louis find a way to connect with his father amidst the prejudices of the time and the sexuality conflict he is grappling?
