Yann makes his way back to revolutionary France in 1794, leaving his love Sido safe in England while the Reign of Terror claims lives daily. His mission is deadly but clear: smuggle aristocratic refugees to safety before they meet the guillotine. Sido waits for him across the Channel, but her guardian refuses to bless their marriage because of Yann's Gypsy blood. Their separation stretches longer than either hoped. Then Sido vanishes under mysterious circumstances. Yann must track down his greatest enemy, the ruthless Count Kalliovski, who holds the key to her disappearance. The rescue will test every magical ability Yann possesses and demand courage he has never needed before. France itself hangs in the balance as Yann races against time to save the woman he loves.
