Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty. For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour - until she's drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family. If they succeed, it'll be the heist of the century. To carry out the League's ambitions, Eleanor will have to break every rule of maid's etiquette. She'll disguise herself as a man, negotiate with powerful vampires and evade the Revolution's chief agent, Citizen Chauvelin. Obsessed with the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel, Chauvelin will stop at nothing to unmask him - even if Eleanor pays the price. But's there more to fear than ardent Revolutionaries. For Eleanor stumbles across a centuries-old war between vampires and their fiercest enemy. And they're out for blood...
