Le Chevalier De Maison-Rouge
1844
Paris, 1793. The Revolution has devoured its king and now hungers for its queen. When young Republican army officer Maurice Lindey intervenes in a street confrontation and rescues a mysterious woman from an angry mob, he has no idea he has just entangled himself in a Royalist conspiracy that could cost him his life. The beautiful stranger is linked to the legendary Knight of Maison-Rouge, the enigmatic mastermind behind a daring plot to free Marie Antoinette from her prison in the Conciergerie. As Maurice falls deeper under the woman's spell, he finds himself serving a cause he should oppose, protecting secrets that could condemn him, and questioning whether love transcends loyalty to any flag. Dumas based this breathless adventure on the actual Carnation Plot, a real historical attempt to reach the doomed queen. The result is historical fiction at its most exhilarating: a tale of honor among thieves, impossible loves, and the terrible choices loyalty demands when the guillotine casts its shadow over every embrace.
