    About this ebook

    For young and pretty Fleurette the revolution seems far away until an aristocratic neighbouring family is threatened. Now, the dangers are all too real, and she is accused of being a traitor. Fleurette's father is ironically Armand Chauvelin, the infamous prosecutor and a man who sent many people on the guillotine. For the first time the villainous agent is forced to ask his arch-enemy, the heroic Scarlet Pimpernel, for help.
