Scarlet

âThe intrigue and adventure keep you turning the page in this exciting tale of revolution, vampires and the guillotine'' - T. L. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead

Revolutionâs a bloodthirsty business . . .

Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty.

For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour â" until sheâs drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family. If they succeed, itâll be the heist of the century.

But thereâs more to fear than ardent Revolutionaries. For Eleanor stumbles across a centuries-old war between vampires and their fiercest enemy. And theyâre out for blood . . .

Sunday Times bestselling Scarlet is the first book in the Scarlet Revolution trilogy, set during the turbulent French Revolution, and featuring all of Genevieve Cogmanâs trademark wit and fast-paced plotting. Itâs perfect for fans of The Invisible Library series, Kim Newman and Gail Carriger.
