Having been abducted for a second time, Lady Antonia (Tony) Stirling, her brother Lord Aidan and the now blind Lord Caleb Delacourt must fight to escape not just their abductor but also the hostile environment of a post Waterloo defeated France. With an immediate flight cut off they must travel to Paris in search for assistance to get safely home. Assuming a disguise, the trio find not only unexpected allies, but also that their enemies are closing in around them. The single dream of reaching English soil once more is superseded by the essential need to stay alive.
