Beschreibung

"For fans of Stephanie Dray's The Women of Chateau Lafayette."-Publishers Weekly BookLife Editor's Pick " A wonderful edition to an outstanding series with its courageous, resilient, yet vulnerable heroine. I highly recommend the whole series."-Historical Novels Review Editors' Choice As Napoleon rises from the ashes of the French Revolution, one woman dares to spy against him. Imprisoned for the crime of impersonating a man, Geneviève LaGarde fears giving birth in an asylum could be certain death for her and her unborn child. Desperate for her release, her husband, Louis, trades his freedom for hers and must join Bonaparte's Egyptian Campaign. As Geneviève wages her own war against the tyrannical general, she not only risks her own life but also those of her children and the four hundred families who depend on the Château de Verzat estate.

A captivating tale of the power of love, hope, and courage, and the strength of community. "A compelling story of love, war, and fierce family loyalty.
