by Alexandre Dumas

Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, "The Queen's Necklace" tells the story of the infamous Diamond Necklace Affair, a real-life scandal that rocked the court of Louis XVI. When a powerful occultist, Count Cogliostro, orchestrates a plot to sell a stolen diamond necklace to the queen, it sets off a chain of events that will have far-reaching consequences for the monarchy and the nation. As the nation grapples with famine and growing social unrest, the monarchy must navigate these challenges while battling accusations of corruption and extravagance.
