Paris, 1792. From her prison cell, Hélène recalls the events that brought her there. Despite her world of privilege, Hélène is inspired early on by the radical ideas of her progressive governess. Her determination to find true love is as revolutionary as her attempt to unravel the truth behind a chilling set of eye-shaped brooches and the concealed murder that tore her family apart. As violence erupts, Hélène is forced into hiding with her estranged family, where the tangled secrets of their past become entwined with her own. On the blood-stained streets of Paris, she finds everything-- and everyone-- very much changed. In a city where alliances shift overnight, no one knows who to trust. -- adapted from jacket
