A singular new voice in historical fiction. A time of
decadence in a country embroiled in revolution. An
unforgettably high-spirited heroine. Set in opulent, decadent, turbulent revolutionary France,
Mistress of the Revolution is the story of Gabrielle de
Montserrat. An impoverished noblewoman blessed with fiery
red hair and a mischievous demeanor, Gabrielle is only
fifteen when she meets her true love, a commoner named
Pierre-André Coffinhal. But her brother forbids their
union, choosing for her instead an aging, wealthy baron. Widowed and a mother while still a teen, Gabrielle arrives
at the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in time to
be swept up in the emerging cataclysm. As a new order
rises, Gabrielle finds her own lovely neck on the chopping
block—and who should be selected to sit on the
Revolutionary Tribunal but her first love, Pierre-
André. . . .
