The intricately plotted parallel adventures of Eliza, jumped-up countess and spy, and Jack Shaftoe, the so-called Vagabond King, continue in this second volume of THE BAROQUE CYCLE, set in the late 17th-century. Eliza schemes at the court in Versailles while attempting to preserve both her life and that of her child, while Jack escapes from galley slavery in Algiers and goes in search of pirate gold.
