Description
When spirited French émigrée Eustacie de Vauban escapes an arranged marriage, she finds the adventure she longs for in the company of her fugitive cousin, Ludovic Lavenham, an heir accused of murder. Hiding at a country inn after Ludovic is wounded while evading the authorities, the pair are aided—and often managed—by the resourceful Miss Sarah Thane and the steady Sir Tristram Shield. Together they become entangled in a race to recover a missing talisman ring that may prove Ludovic’s innocence, while navigating disguises, smugglers, pursuit, and unexpected romantic complications. With its lively farce, spirited characters, and affectionate mockery of Gothic melodrama, this classic Regency adventure showcases Georgette Heyer’s wit, brisk plotting, and sparkling dialogue.
