Lady Sophia Hamilton hates the French, who took her husband's life and who threaten the peace she craves for England and her family. In a world gone mad with war, the last thing she should do is fall in love with the enemy, a Frenchman whose true loyalties are a frightening enigma. Napoleon Bonaparte has escaped from Elba. His Hundred Days are about to begin. And he is unaware that from the moment he lands in France he is being stalked by an assassin. In London, Lady Sophia Hamilton has private plans for the Prince Regent. At Greenwich, a French emigré soldier of the Chasseurs Britanniques arrives in England—and is arrested and court-martialed. Is he a deserter, a royalist, or a spy? With the resurgence of the Emperor, France is deeply divided, while London under the Prince Regent is full of ambition and treachery. And thus, as Napoleon sweeps northwards, Sophia Hamilton and Jacques Decernay find their own affairs perilously linked. It is a time of mistrust, when even passion may hide more than it reveals. A time of fear, when overnight a lover may turn into an enemy, the hunter become the hunted. The time of Waterloo.
