Description
From the author of the bestselling and award-winning WITCH CHILD, comes another outstanding historical novel.
Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution and its impact on British politics, this action-driven novel shows once again that Celia Rees is one of our very best writers for teenage readers.
Wild and beautiful, spoilt and wilful, Sovay finds that her cosseted upbringing in rural England has not prepared her for life as a highway robber, for defending the honour of her family or for trying to save herself from corruption and evil. As Sovay becomes more and more embroiled in adventures she could never have imagined, a story of dark intrigue, thwarted passions and sinister intentions is revealed to her. Will she be able to survive, and if she does so, at what cost?

Capturing the romantic, dramatic flavor of late-18th-century prose without compromising the complexity of her characters, the author creates a suspenseful tale of political intrigue and class struggle.
