Resumen del Editor
From the glittering ballrooms of 17th Century England to the dangerous intrigues of the French court, Laura L. Sullivan brings an unlikely heroine to the audio, turning on its head everything we’ve been told about The Three Musketeers and their ultimate rival.
I’ve gone by many names, though you most likely know me as Milady de Winter: Villainess. Seductress. A secondary player in someone else’s tale.
It’s finally time I tell my own story. The truth isn’t tidy or convenient, but it’s certainly more interesting.
Before you cast judgment, let me start at the beginning, and you shall learn how an innocent girl from the countryside became the most feared woman in all of Europe.
Because we all know history was written by men, and they so often get things wrong.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Laura Sullivan’s Milady is an enthralling historical novel, beautifully crafted and richly detailed. Its fascinating, utterly real characters and spellbinding plot twists will keep readers breathlessly turning the pages.” (Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times best-selling author of Resistance Women)
“As sharp and merciless as a Musketeer’s blade, Milady is the historical adventure I’ve been waiting for, one that will leave you gasping to the very last page. Adventuress, assassin, and provocatrix, Milady de Winter is an unforgettable heroine, more than a match for any adversary. This is the story Dumas should have told.” (Deanna Raybourn, New York Times best-selling author of A Dangerous Collaboration)
“A woman's place is no longer in the subplot and Milady de Winter is a 17th century heroine destined for the 21st century. With bold, witty writing, and a narrative that rips along, Laura L. Sullivan crafts a compelling novel for a character deserving of her own story. I loved it!” (Hazel Gaynor, New York Times best-selling author of The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter)

In the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, the despotic Uther Pendragon, High King of Celtic Britain, is nearing death, and his kingdom is being torn apart by the squabbling of minor kings.

Excellent story, characters, and narration
This book was even better than I expected it to be! I couldn’t stop listening. I love the story of the Musketeers. I never put much thought into Milady’s history. This book is well-written, intriguing, unexpected, and well narrated. Highly recommend!!

Made me rethink The Three Musketeers
I loved seeing this story from Milady’s point of view. It really makes you think about history being written by the victors, we rarely have both sides of the story. The only thing that bothered me were the time jumps, I understand why they are there but they were jarring to me.

I couldn’t put it down
When I first read the Three Musketeers, I was struck by how the female characters were portrayed. They were one dimensional and either considered pure, perfect, submissive virgins or alternatively, evil, promiscuous manipulators. I couldn’t understand how this story had become so popular and had a myriad of representation in pop culture and media. I realized that no adaptations truly showed the misogynistic truths of the original, and if they did, the story would immediately fall prayed to cancel culture. I strongly dislike the original Three Musketeers. However, one of my favorite books of all time is the Count of Montecristo, written much later in Alexander Dumas’s life. It is clear that his understanding and view of women drastically changed and evolved during his life time. This book is phenomenal. I could not put it down. It rectifies the misogyny and one dimensional platitudes of the original story and manages to create intricate multidimensional female characters and to turn the original story on its head. It takes away the floored language of Dumas and reveals his heroic masculine characters, for who they truly are. This novel concocts the idea that a strong clever woman, can take her own fate into her hands and shape her own destiny, despite the incredible challenges women faced at the time and regrettably, still face sometimes today. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

Loved every minute
Exceptionally written. Super entertaining and unpredictable story. Twists and turns all the way to the very end. I have never read the three musketeers, and had no problems following this story. The performance was a little breathy, but I was riveted and got used to it. Would highly recommend!
