Sinopse

Nancy Bilyeau’s latest novel, THE FUGUTIVE COLOURS, is set in a fascinating time in English history, the 1760s. Its protagonist, Genevieve, is a young married woman who finds herself entangled in a web of intrigues, spies, and deceit.  A Huguenot living in Spitalfields, Genevieve one day receives a surprise invitation from an important artist. Grasping at the promise of a better life, she dares to hope her luck is about to change and readies herself for an entry into the world of serious art.She soon learns that for the portrait painters ruling over the wealthy in London society, fame and fortune are there for the taking. But such high stakes spur rivalries that darken to sabotage and blackmail—and even murder. And watching from the shadows are ruthless spies who wish harm to all of England. A sequel to Nancy Bilyeau’s The Blue, The Fugitive Colours again reveals a dazzling world of glamour and treachery in Georgian England, when beauty held more value than human life.  Nancy’s web site is http://www.nancybil
