When Marie-Therese, daughter of Marie Antoinette, slips
into
the streets of Paris at the height of the French
Revolution,
she finds a world much darker than what she's ever known. When Marie-Thérèse Charlotte of France learns of the
powerful rebellion sweeping her country, the sheltered
princess is determined to see the revolution for herself.
Switching places with a chambermaid, the princess sneaks
out
of the safety of the royal palace and into the heart of a
city in strife. Soon the princess is brushing shoulders with
revolutionaries
and activists. One boy in particular, Henri, befriends her
and has her questioning the only life she's known. When
the
princess returns to the palace one night to find an angry
mob storming its walls, she's forced into hiding in Paris. Henri brings her to the workshop of one Mademoiselle
Grosholtz, whose wax figures seem to bring the famous back
from the dead, and who looks at Marie-Thérèse as if she
can
see all of her secrets. There, the princess quickly
discovers there's much more to the outside world - and to
the mysterious woman's wax figures - than meets the eye.
