When Tristan tries to halt Robespierreβs Reign of Terror, he inadvertently steps into a trap laid by the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel and orchestrated by the lovely Alexandra Martin. Tristan is no oneβs pawn, but he thinks by playing along, he might be able to give his superiors information leading to the capture of the League.
