The Marked Man

More about the book

Everyone — even her doting father - thinks of Claudine de Trévires as a meek schoolgirl, too innocent to realise what it means to live in French-occupied Luxembourg in 1789. But at a time when another Revolution is trying to sweep away the little duchy, Claudine is brave enough to give shelter and help to the rebel leader, the Marked Man, whom the French are determined to capture. At first it seems vaguely romantic for a young girl to give help to a rebel, but Claudine swiftly learns that the attractive fugitive is also the wicked Comte de Villerange, of whom she has heard such dreadful stories. All too soon, she too is in danger - the danger of falling in love with him.
