At Fontainebleau all seems peaceful and serene; Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette secure on their thrones. Yet as Roger Brook arrives on a secret and vital mission for Prime Minister Pitt, the smell of blood, of Revolution and the Terror is already in the air.
Intrigue, violence, suspicion – this is the maelstrom into which Roger is plunged at once. But with love. Isabella D'Arana is beautiful, Spanish – and married. Laws and conventions must be defied if he is to have her. Police and agents must be outwitted if he is to achieve his secret mission.
