The fascinating Ph©·dre n© Delaunay fights to save her queen and country in a battle whose greatest weapon proves to be Ph©·dre herself. Ph©·dre, now Comtesse de Montr©·ve, is once again plying her skills as an anguissette - a courtesan for whom pain becomes pleasure - and her talents as a spy. She uncovers a conspiracy of treason and murder and begins an adventure that takes her once more to distant lands in the company of an intriguing cast of characters - and a new confrontation with her old enemy, Melisande Shahrizai.

During this time, she worked at the art centre of an area college, gaining a strong background in the visual arts. This, along with her early studies in literature and psychology informs her work, as does a lifelong interest in mythology. She enjoys doing research on a wide variety of arcane topics, and an affinity for travel has take her from Finland to Egypt to date. Although often asked by inquiring fans, she does not, in fact, have any tattoos.
