When the streets of Paris run red with revolution, innocence becomes the most dangerous virtue of all.
In the turbulent days before the French Revolution, Ingénue-the beautiful daughter of the eccentric writer Restif de la Bretonne-becomes entangled in a web of desire, deceit, and destiny. She loves Christian, a noble young man whose future hangs by a thread. But the corrupt Comte d'Artois has other plans for her, and his ruthless henchman Auger will stop at nothing to deliver her into the Count's hands.
As Danton and Marat's friendship shapes the coming storm, and Paris convulses toward the Estates-General, Ingénue must navigate a world where aristocratic depravity collides with revolutionary fervor. Alexandre Dumas weaves a gripping tale of virtue under siege, exposing the darkness that gave birth to the Terror through the eyes of those who witnessed its first bloody dawn.
Featuring vivid portraits of Marat's tortured past, Charlotte Corday's fateful appearance, and the moral rot of the ancien régime, Ingénue captures a young woman's struggle to preserve her honor as an entire civilization tears itself apart.
In revolution's crucible, even innocence must choose a side.
