Book Description

Set in England just after the end of the height of the Reign of Terror in France, the hero lost his sister to a prison massacre in Paris due to the betrayal of a fellow English peer. The book opens just as the hero has almost completed his revenge against that peer. He wins everything the nasty fellow owns, his estate, London house and all the contents, including the loser's sister. And the loser promptly goes outside and blows his brains out. The rest of the book is about how the hero marries the sister as a completion of his vengeance and how they work out their marriage and (of course) fall in love. Very nicely done, good use of the history of the era and a cracking good yarn.
