Description

Teenage swordswoman. Grave-Robber. Arsonist. Nun. Assassin. Superstar. La Femme Nikita of the 1600s.

The true story of 17 year old Julie d'Aubigny, who took 17th century Paris by storm, by stardust, and by steel. Queen of the underground dueling scene among the wealthy sons of noblemen, daughter of the Kings fencing master, she rose in scandal, blood, and reputation to become the leading star of the Paris Opera.

Distilled from French Y Y pop, 1980s Delacorta beach novellas, and Luc Besson films, Sword Girl: La Maupin is a Rococopunk sugar-frosted hand grenade.
