About this listen

 With Sido safely in England and the Terror at it's height, Yann returns to France to smuggle out aristocratic refugees who will otherwise face the guillotine. But when Sido is kidnapped, he must use all his strength and courage to outwit the evil Count Kalliovski, and rescue her for a second time.

Set against a vivid historical background, prize winning author Sally Gardner brings to life the horrors of the French Revolution in this breath-taking adventure, complete with intrepid heroism and a touching love story. Perfect for 9+ readers and fans of The Red Necklace and I, Coriander.

Another fast-moving, action-packed page-turner
An exciting, original read
Breathtaking
Never loses pace from the start until its dramatic end ... a romantic adventure with a very dark side
Gardner just keeps getting stranger and better
It is hard to imagine a contemporary work of children's historical fiction more superbly conceived or more engagingly written. Highly recommended
Shiveringly romantic. dramatic and gripping
Sweeps the reader along with hardly time to draw breath
A high octane thriller ... an accessible historical title and a gripping read
Rich, suspenseful and moving
An enthralling and wholly original novel ... a must-read for a new generation
a tense story of love, danger and the devil, given considerable gravitas by a masterly narration. (Rachel Redford)
Constant suspense, beautiful style, strong period feeling and great characters make this one not to miss
