| Summary | "Une Intrigante sous le règne de Frontenac" by J. B. Caouette is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during the late 17th century, specifically around the time of Governor Frontenac's rule in Nouvelle-France. The narrative introduces intrigue within a political and personal context, focusing on characters like Governor Frontenac and the manipulative widow Madame DeBoismorel, as they navigate through betrayal, ambition, and the complexities of love and loyalty amidst chaos. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in August 1690, where Governor Frontenac is troubled by disturbing letters regarding his wife and an unknown source sending him roses. His suspicions lead him to uncover the machinations of Madame DeBoismorel, who schemingly aims to disrupt his marriage and allure Frontenac's affections. The story quickly escalates into themes of ambition and deceit as Frontenac resolves to thwart the intrigues of DeBoismorel while preparing for an impending attack from the English forces. This opening lays a foundation rich in historical context while establishing character motivations that are central to the unfolding drama in the narrative.
