Revolution burns. Love falters. And the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.

France, 1791. Two years after the fall of the Bastille, the streets of Paris are thick with hope and unrest. The dream of liberty has been awakened, but the monarchy still stands, and peace feels like a fading illusion.

Henri, a gifted stonemason caught between two worlds, is reeling from the murder of his mentor, Mirabeau. Haunted by loss and driven by love, he longs only to build a quiet future with Catia, the fierce revolutionary who stole his heart. But Catia is no longer free. Revered by the people as a symbol of resistance, she is trapped by the very ideals she helped ignite.

As factions clash and loyalties are tested, Henri and Catia make a fateful choice that could upend not just their lives but the fragile future of France itself.

Greg Walters returns with the spellbinding sequel to The Gargoyles of Notre Dame, where history and fantasy collide in a heart-pounding tale of revolution, betrayal, and the cost of freedom. Perfect for fans of The Gilded Wolves and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
