The War of Women II' follows the continuing rivalry between Nanon de Lartigues and Viscountess de Cambes, who have both fallen in love with the Baron de Canolles. Unlike many of his other works, this book and its predecessor focus their attention on the two women, casting the male characters in secondary roles. Set in 17th century France, the political unrest has deepened, and chaos threatens the monarchy. However, Baron de Canolles has more pressing matters on his mind. A boisterous romp, packed with twists and turns, dastardly villains, and historical detail, this is a must for fans of Dumas' swashbuckling stories
