## Resource

Before she became the secret wife of Louis XIV, Françoise d’Aubigné was an outsider—penniless, disgraced, and all but invisible to the glittering world of Versailles. But behind her quiet smile was a mind built for survival. Her path to power was no fairytale: there was no fairy godmother waving a magic wand; just a brutal childhood, a cold-hearted guardian, and a series of risky choices. But as she climbs closer to the Sun King’s inner circle, Françoise has to play a shadowy game—one built on influence, seduction and secrets. And when she finally wins the king’s heart… it will come at a price. Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
