“A swashbuckling love story of innocents abroad written in prose so period perfect you'll swear it's a rediscovered classic.” Elizabeth Bales Frank, Author
It is the dawn of the French revolution and masses of hungry peasants burn wealthy chateaus throughout France. After the death of his estranged family, eighteen year-old nobleman Marcel de la Croix is forced to raise the royalist banner, despite his own revolutionary leanings. Marcel escapes to England, hoping to put the past behind him. In England he encounters several French emigres: the large, brutish former soldier, M. Tolouse, the haughty Mlle. de Courteline, and the sheltered Mlle. Vallon. As these traveling exiles are forced together, a young servant begins to intrigue them with a mysterious tale. Does it hold the key to Marcel’s fate?
