Young Adult
Spoiled, beautiful, fourteen-year-old Eugenie de Boncoeur is
accustomed to outrageous privilege. The French Revolution
may rage around her, but Eugenie's luxurious lifestyle is
only improved by visits from her brother, Armand, who is
especially doting since the two were orphaned. What Eugenie
doesn't know is that their guardian has promised her in
marriage to the wealthy, vengeful Le Fantome, a
revolutionary who is nursing a secret grudge against her
family. As the Revolution becomes increasingly violent, Eugenie is
shipped off to convent school. Finally, there is no place in
France that is safe for her. Eugenie dusts off her lightly
used brains and rises to the challenge of survival. Soon she
is in the thick of turmoil and romance, confronting spies,
secret agents, and double-crossing suitors in her quest to
get out of France alive. Sympathies shift, and every choice
can change--or end--a life.
