Lady Marguerite Blakeney: beautiful, courageous and decidedly immoral, she is an irresistible heroine.
Forced to flee Revolutionary France with her husband, the legendary Scarlet Pimpernel, she seems destined for a quiet life in the comparative peace of England. But this is one role Marguerite, former leading lady of the French theatre and heroine of the Revolution, is not content to play.
Disguised as her fictional brother, fiery revolutionary Armand Saint-Just, she returns to war-torn France in a desperate bid to save not only her husband, Sir Percy, but her lover as well. Not to mention the Comte de Tournay, whose mistress she had been in her years as the star and darling of the Comedie Francaise... And of course there's the treasure of the convent that once expelled her that must be rescued for the glory of the Revolution... and herself.
