Details: Oscar François de Jariayes, the heroine of the series, Hans Axel de Fersen, his first love, and Marie-Antoinette, future Queen of France, were all born in 1755. Of very different characters, they would meet many times over time and forever mark the people they met. Of noble origin, wearing magnificent blond hair in harmony with her blue eyes and her angelic face, the 6th daughter of Colonel de Jariayes should have known the destiny of a life of opulence and worldliness in Versailles. But by giving him the masculine first name of Oscar François and by educating him as a boy destined to take over the service of the guards of their Majesties of France, his father considerably modified his destiny. Captain of the Royal Guard at the age of 14, Oscar discovers, at the French court, a frivolous and hypocritical world where courtiers are ready to do anything to ensure their rank. Through her specific functions with Marie-Antoinette, she occupies a special place to see her make more or less informed choices. Observing somehow a neutrality at the heart of various conflicts, and facing the anger of a people starving and crushed by taxes, Oscar ends up expressing what she feels. Inspired by the life of Marie-Antoinette Paris, Year of Grace 1765. During a stormy winter night, General de Jarjayes prays to heaven to grant him a male successor. Yet, once again, he will have a daughter. But, far from submitting to the decision of fate, he decides to give her the education of a boy, so that she preserves the name of the Jarjayes and succeeds her father in the ranks of the royal army. While he holds the child in his arms, and chooses the name Oscar for her, he does not yet know that an exceptional destiny is preparing for his daughter. Fourteen years later, the young Austrian princess Marie-Antoinette arrives in France to marry the son of Louis XV. But this new alliance is not to everyone's taste...
