The Prisoner of the Castle of Enlightenment by Therese Doucet EPUB

A lover in and of the darkness...

Violaine, a devotee of books and learning, is sold by her father to a mysterious nobleman to become his companion. Fearing herself at the mercy of a monster, Violaine, instead, succumbs to the seductive spell of her magical new home and the love of a man she has never seen, who comes to her only in the darkness of night.

The Château de Boisaulne is a place of many mysteries, but also a refuge for children of the Enlightenment in a time when Europe still languishes under the repressive chains of monarchy and superstition.

But modern thought meets ancient lore, as the castle borders the forest lair of the roi des aulnes and an ogre said to be the ancestor of Violaine's unseen lover...or are they one and the same?
