"If you read in bed, you might be up all night." - Frank
Schulwolf, Amazon "Sit back and strap yourself in for a riotous, rollicking
ride following appealing heroes, heroines and villains
across war-torn Napoleonic Europe." Peter Cresswell, Not PC "Perren's economical style moves one quickly from
page-to-page while leaving little for interpretation, and
everything to purposeful conquest. The reader is driven by
one overriding question: will a man's passionate pursuit of
a woman prove more powerful than a ruler's quest for an
empire?" - Michael Moeller, The Atlasphere HOW FAR WILL ONE MAN GO FOR LOVE AND FREEDOM? Rebellious engineer Breutier Armande is drafted into the
Grande Armeé on the eve of Napoleon's 1812 Russian war
campaign. On a spying mission to St. Petersburg he meets
Kaarina, daughter of the counselor to Tsar Alexander I. The pair soon fall in love -- but Kaarina is betrothed to
Agripin, a brooding Cossack and a favorite of the Tsar. When
she refuses him, Agripin kidnaps her, sowing a showdown to
the death between the two young men. Risking a firing squad, Breutier deserts Napoleon's army
during the war. Dodging the vengeance of the world's most
powerful rulers catapults him onto a perilous quest to hunt
down his greatest enemy. Interweaving the characters' personal dramas with the
battles in Europe forms the core of the story. The conflict
peaks at the moment when, for the first time in 400 years,
foreign armies invaded France, leaving behind Cossacks in Paris.
