While ostensibly about a woman miniature painter who is sent to France to record the wedding of Louise of Savoy to the aged King of France, it's the demons that steal the show. (Lord Belfagor is unforgettable, belching smoke about Paris while learning proper court etiquette.) There's lots of imps and cherubs and a few angels along the way, all with a great setting in medieval London and Paris. Lots of mystery and intrigue, a few murders, and some sly humor about painting and the war between good and evil. If you enjoyed The Oracle Glass, I think you'll like this too, but for different reasons.
