Synopsis "Mélisande"
Lucas de Granville-pious, respectable, impoverished, lonely-will do nearly anything for the godfather who raised him, even though his godfather doesn't seem to want to do anything for him. Melisande-mundane, illegitimate, dirt poor, lonely-will do nearly anything to make sure her mother and brother have shelter and food, even though they are critical of her lack of magical talent. When Melisande's father, a pious comte, sends his godson Lucas to bring her to Versailles and help him train her to be a fine, staunchly religious lady, their attraction is immediate, but so is their distrust. Her eagerness to get as much money as she can as quickly as possible gradually changes into a wish for something higher, better, and holier. Something that Lucas can help her achieve: love.
