In the glittering world of 18th-century Paris, an exquisitely beautiful and darkly mysterious Italian aristocrat who speaks French like a native, matches wits with the intellectuals of the day and gambles like a man, has the city at her feet.
But the celebrated Marchesina Di Novi has a secret that would destroy her. Beneath the glamorous mask of an Italian socialite is a runaway Creole slave from Martinique who has sworn an oath to destroy her Master and free her people. Now she is gambling with her life to win a fortune and her freedom.
On the brink of victory, she risks everything by falling passionately in love with a handsome and intriguing nobleman who by race, birth and rank is her enemy. But she is forced to enter into a deadly alliance with another man who threatens to destroy them both.
Against the bloody backdrop of the Seven Years' War, La Creole at last confronts her ruthless Master, her past - and her future.
