The eighth book time-wise in the Scarlet Pimpernel series, this was actually the 6th one written (first published in 1917). The story, like most of the Scarlet Pimpernel series, is set in Europe during the French Revolution. When Lord Anthony Dewhurst elopes with the Lady Yvonne de Kernogan, her father is not impressed. He had wanted her to marry Martin-Roget the millionaire banker of Brest. Unbeknownst to the duc de Kernogan however, Martin-Roget is actually Pierre Adet, a peasant miller’s son who had started an uprising against the Kernogan family when he was younger. When Martin-Roget/Pierre Adet kidnaps both Yvonne and her father, planning on sacrificing them to the guillotine… or worse… it will take all the powers of the Scarlet Pimpernel (and Lord Tony) to save them.
