The Hidden Evil Barbara Cartland

At her father's request and on the instructions of the Royal council, flame-haired young Scottish beauty Sheena McCraggan sails to France to become a companion to the fourteen-year-old Mary Stuart - Mary Queen of Scots - at the court of French King Henri II. Once there, she is to report on the young Queen's intentions and those of the French Court regarding the future of Scotland and specifically whether it will support Mary's rightful accession to the throne of England. When she arrives, Sheena finds that her mission is far more difficult and dangerous than anyone had imagined. Not only is the French court a seething nest of depravity and corruption - the deceitful aristocrats close to King Henri exploit innocent young Sheena in an evil Black Magic plot to ensnare him. Amid the darkness, as she find herself prone on the Satanic sacrificial Altar, the one light of hope is the man to whom Sheena has lost her heart. But will God answer her prayers and send him to the rescue in time to save her soul?
