Paris, December 22, 1793. In a workshop on the rue Saint-Honoré, Victoire Moreau melts aristocratic jewelry for the Committee of Public Safety. Tonight, a messenger knocks with a letter sealed in fleur-de-lis wax and three words inside: They know everything. Run.
Victoire is not just a goldsmith. For two years she has secretly protected twenty-three children of noble families hidden across Paris - the mission Mirabeau entrusted to her before he died. She is also looking for the Roofer, the mysterious agent Mirabeau named in his last letter and whom she has never found.
Victoire is not just a goldsmith. For two years she has secretly protected twenty-three children of noble families hidden across Paris - the mission Mirabeau entrusted to her before he died. She is also looking for the Roofer, the mysterious agent Mirabeau named in his last letter and whom she has never found.
Tonight, everything accelerates. A man from her past, Antoine Delacroix, wants her dead for what she witnessed at Versailles in 1789. Another wants her land. And in a Paris that is eating its own, every hour of freedom is paid in gold - or blood.
Forged in Terror is a novel of pursuit and loyalty, a chase that moves through the streets and tunnels of Year II Paris. It follows Victoire, Lise, the Roofer, and the children of nobody - the Magpie, Le Cabot, Clopin, Pierrot - through the frozen heart of the Terror, all the way to the Swiss border.
Written in the tradition of the great nineteenth-century French novelists: tight narrative tension, sharp characterization, a narrator's voice that does not flinch.
For readers of historical fiction, French Revolution novels, and stories where loyalty costs more than survival.
