Marie Antoinette Romances, Vol 2: The Mesmerist's Victim

by Alexandre Dumas

The Mesmerist's Victim is the second volume in Alexandre Dumas' Marie Antoinette Romances. This volume continues the intrigues of "Balsamo, The Magician" and adds to them the schemes of philosophers and the stirrings of revolution. Balsamo (based on the real Count Alessandro di Cagliostro) carries on his occult tactics to weaponize the state secrets that he gained in the previous volume. A serious romance and illness takes root in the court of King Louis XV, convincing one of the leading philosophic minds of the era, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, that “the breath of heaven will blast an age and a monarchy.”
