Meet Contestant #6, a Historical Fiction!
A bit about this contestant:
Contestant #6 is all about the intrigue. In eighteenth-century France, surrounded by the decadence of Versailles through a new era of revolution, it's important to remember both where you came from and where you end up. What history should this contestant know about you?
The first words they'll say to you (a snippet from the first page):
