Scarlet Revolution

Revolutionary France is full of blood and bite... 1793. Eleanor, once a lowly English maid, is now a member of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel: renowned for their daring deeds, and for rescuing aristocrats and vampires from the guillotine. When the notorious French diplomat Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand goes missing, Eleanor and the League leap into action. But they uncover two vampire factions feuding for control over humanity's fate. Talleyrand's disappearance is part of a larger, more dangerous scheme—one that threatens to throw France into bloody chaos... As the mutiny continues, a once-dead queen stalks the streets of Paris and the Scarlet Pimpernel is nowhere to be found. Eleanor must take control of her own fate. If she doesn't, she may find herself the victim of the very people she came to save.
