In a France ravaged by revolution, where loyalties shift like smoke and every choice has a cost, two young visionaries rise from the ashes to challenge the destiny set before them.
Élise Moreau once lived a quiet life in her family’s silk shop—until the Revolution tore her world apart. Stripped of security but not of spirit, she is thrust into the heart of political upheaval, where her intelligence becomes both her weapon and her vulnerability. Determined to protect what remains of her family, Élise enters a world ruled by suspicion, ambition, and the sharp edge of public justice.
Laurent Duret has become one of the Revolution’s most compelling voices, a leader whose conviction inspires a nation desperate for change. Yet the deeper he steps into the fire of politics, the more he risks losing the ideals that shaped him. When Élise challenges his vision of France, she becomes the one person capable of grounding him—or undoing him.
As the rebellion in Lyon erupts under the cunning influence of the royalist conspirator Leclerc, Élise and Laurent are drawn into a conflict that tests their loyalties, their courage, and their fragile bond. The siege that follows will demand sacrifice from them both, forcing Élise to face betrayal within her own family and Laurent to confront the devastating consequences of power.
When the smoke clears, victory brings no comfort. The people of France grow weary, the revolutionary council fractures, and the republic trembles on the edge of collapse. Still, Élise and Laurent refuse to surrender their vision. Revolutions do not end—they evolve. And the future they dream of must be built not on vengeance, but on resilience, compassion, and truth.
