Plot

'Liberty, equality, fraternity' cry the revolutionaries as they spill the blood of the aristocracy into the streets of Paris. The rumble of the tumbrils strikes fear into the hearts of the once rich and powerful. For one young noblewoman, a simple act of charity from years before could be the only thing that can save her.
It's 1792. Isabelle, daughter of an aristocrat, lives in a chateau just outside Paris. But France is in the grip of the Revolution, and as terror takes hold of the city, Isabelle's family decides that they must flee to the countryside. But will they be safe there? Will they escape the guillotine's falling blade...?
This gripping new addition to the My Story series is a fascinating glimpse into the Reign of Terror
