Might be time for a classic vigilante adventure with a masked hero, romance, and the French Revolution.
Marguerite St. Just surprised many by marrying the seemingly inept Sir Percy Blakeney, and at the story’s start, their unlikely union is already faltering. Marguerite hasn’t been close to Percy since their wedding night, when she confessed that she turned in a French aristocrat, unintentionally getting him killed. Now, she admires the exploits of The Scarlet Pimpernel, an elusive figure who saves the falsely condemned from the guillotine – but she is blackmailed into helping his enemies. Blending history, romance, and mystery, this 1905 classic endures for good reason.
