The Heir (en Inglés) - R. W. Kelley;Anze Ban Virant

Five years after fleeing the French Revolution, Anne-Marie DuPont now lives as an English commoner alongside her drunken father, Baron Pierre DuPont. However, whilst working in their shop as a translator, a royal courier arrives bearing an invitation to Windsor Castle from the King. Upon arriving at the royal estate, the Baron is ushered away to a private meeting with the King, where he signs Anne-Marie into service as the Queen’s maid-of-honor. She then meets with the Queen, who informs Anne-Marie of her true role in the royal court: she is to become the King’s mistress, with the sole purpose of birthing a male heir.

As her predicament steadily worsens, Anne-Marie becomes more and more desperate to do whatever necessary to escape her imprisonment. She soon finds that the castle holds a grisly secret, one that reveals the truth about her role and the inevitable fate that may eventually befall her. In order to escape, Anne-Marie must take increasingly extreme measures in the face of the ever-present Crown, risking not only her life but that of her unborn child as she delves deeper and deeper into the depths of madness.
