Lord Tony's Wife: An Adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel

Baroness Orczy returns to the swashbuckling world of the Scarlet Pimpernel with this gripping tale of love and revolution. The story erupts in 1789 Nantes, where peasants stirred by Pierre's fiery rhetoric rise against the aristocracy in the wake of an unjust execution. At the heart of the chaos stands Yvonne, daughter of the Duc de Kernogan, whose life hangs in the balance as mob violence threatens everything she knows. Lord Tony, hero of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, must navigate treacherous waters: protecting the innocent while staying true to his wife, whose own courage will be tested against the tide of history. Orczy weaves adventure, romance, and revolutionary fervor into a tale that captures the desperate urgency of France's darkest hours, where ordinary people must choose between survival and sacrifice. The result is a rousing adventure that proves courage transcends class, and love endures even when the guillotine falls.
