About This Book
Two orphaned sisters from Normandy travel to Paris seeking a medical cure for the younger's blindness, but their hopes are shattered by abduction and betrayal. One sister falls into the hands of a criminal clan and suffers imprisonment, exploitation, and attempted debasement, while the other encounters rescuers, romantic loyalty, and the darker intrigues of high society. Set against the backdrop of revolutionary unrest, the story weaves courtroom drama, violent encounters, daring escapes, a pivotal recognition, and the emotional reckoning and consequences that follow the upheaval.
