Description

From shy Austrian princess to vilified French queen.

“I am the venom in your veins...”

To this day, Marie Antoinette haunts history as one of its most polarizing and provocative figures. Once draped in silk and diamonds, she became the dazzling emblem of royal excess, only to be cast as the ultimate villain in a nation's fury. As revolution engulfed France, the Queen who once ruled Versailles was dragged into the chaos, blamed for sins both real and imagined. Her downfall was swift, merciless—and unforgettable.

This poetry collection is a haunting odyssey through the final years of Marie Antoinette’s life, beginning with her forced departure from the gilded palace in 1789 and spiraling into the heart of the Reign of Terror. Told through the voice of the ill-fated Queen herself, these poems are raw, visceral, and unflinchingly intimate.

Experience her descent from royal grandeur to imprisoned widow, from the opulence of Versailles to the cold shadow of the guillotine. Within these pages, you'll uncover a woman stripped of power but not of spirit, a queen who, in her darkest hour, revealed a resilience no mob could destroy.

Each poem reads like a whispered confession, a final echo from the past that will stay with you long after the last page. This is not just history—it’s her reckoning.
