Paris, 1793. Juliette de Marny has spent ten years bound by an oath to avenge her brother, who died in a duel with Paul Déroulède. When chance brings her into Déroulède’s household, she discovers that the republican patriot she has been taught to hate is generous, courageous and increasingly dear to her. Her promise of revenge becomes inseparable from the danger of betraying a man she now understands.

Juliette’s attempt to denounce Déroulède places both of them before the revolutionary authorities at the height of the Law of Suspects. Chauvelin recognises an opportunity to destroy an opponent and to draw out the Scarlet Pimpernel. The rescue that follows depends on Juliette accepting responsibility for her actions and on Percy exploiting the assumptions of officials who believe that arrest, paperwork and public fear have made escape impossible.
