Paris, France
1792
Colette and her brother Pascoe are
two sides of the same coin, dependent upon one another in the tumultuous world
of the new Republic. Together they labor with other leaders of the sans-culottes to
ensure freedom for all the downtrodden men and women of France.
But
then the popular uprisings turn bloody and the rhetoric proves false. Suddenly,
Colette finds herself at odds with Pascoe and struggling to unite her fractured
family against the lure of violence. Charged with protecting an innocent young
woman and desperately afraid of losing one of her beloved brothers, Colette
doesn’t know where to turn or whom to trust as the bloodshed creeps ever closer
to home.
Until
that distant day when peace returns to France, can she find the strength to
defend her loved ones . . . even from one another?
