Caught between the confines of a convent upbringing and the intrigues of the Versailles court, Lili blossoms under the care of a Parisian salonnire as she absorbs the excitement of the Enlightenment, even as the scandalous shadow of her mothers past haunts her and puts her on her own path of self-discovery.
