The Revolution is over, Napoleon is exiled and the crown is restored - yet for the people of France the future is far from certain.
During those turbulent years families were divided, great estates were lost and love turned to hate. As the dust settles there is a reckoning to come as exiled aristocrats return to reclaim their ancestral homes, only to find new inhabitants who are loathe to leave.
But not every new resident is unwelcome. When Louis de la Rouelle returns to find a young, frightened girl living on his estate he takes her under his wing and so begins a relationship that entrances French society. But soon they find their love tested, as old wounds are reopened: old friends turn into bitter foes and loyal subjects become traitors.
One flag for King. One flag for Emperor. But which flag for the future?
Acclaimed author Juliet Dymoke takes us on a captivating emotional journey through post-Revolution France, vividly capturing the atmosphere, characters and drama of this period. Through the eyes of young love we see the giants of history - Napoleon, King Louis, Marshall Ney, the Duke of Wellington - controlling the fate of countries and individuals in their quests for glory.
