Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins in the charged atmosphere of Post Revolutionary France where we meet Charles Brissac, a young man of noble blood forced into survival mode by treacherous political turmoil. When his outspoken opinions land him in hot water with the suspicious authorities, he is compelled to strike a bargain with the very regime he despises. Enticed by the allure of life and terrified of the guillotine, Charles agrees to travel undercover to England. His mission is to infiltrate the lives of his estranged royalist family, the de Brissacs, and spy on their alleged support for counter-revolutionaries. But within this task he finds a family he never knew he had. Marie-Elise, the daughter of his long-lost aunt, is a woman of character and composure, despite her families' tragic past. Torn between duty and moral turpitude, Charles grapples with the consequences of his duplicity. His newfound familial bonds challenge the allegiance he owes the man who holds his fate in the balance - Napoleon Bonaparte. This book is a tale of divided loyalties, espionage, familial discovery and the enduring human spirit set in the treacherous backdrop of a country still reeling from violent revolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
