Laura L. Sullivan Knihy

Vystupovala som pod mnohými menami, hoci vy ma poznáte ako Milady de Winter: nemilosrdnú zvodkyňu a vedľajšiu postavu v legendárnom príbehu Troch mušketierov. Všetci však vieme, že históriu písali muži a tí sa často mýlia.

Through it all, a stray cat, Maci, serves as a guardian spirit to the entire family"--
