A later generation of the Lazender family is drawn into danger as revolutionary France overturns aristocratic society and war spreads across Europe. Lazen Castle appears secure, but an old grievance and a disputed legacy connect the family to events in Paris, where imprisonment, political violence and the fear of denunciation shape every decision.

The story moves between England and France as family loyalties are tested by the Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Personal revenge and political upheaval combine to place the Lazenders in a conflict where birth, wealth and association can be fatal.
