Amidst the sweeping backdrop of the Swiss Alps in 1791, one false move stands to plunge the fragile confederacy into irreversible chaos. When a mysterious exiled man finds himself at the center of an assassination plot that threatens to ignite revolution across Switzerland's neutral cantons, the hunt is on. This sweeping journey of concealed pasts and uncertain futures explores the intertwining themes of mystery, star-crossed romance, identity, and political upheaval through the lens of the French Revolution's impending shadow. As accusations and conspiracy swirl, the accused holds the balance of the Ancien Régime's very fate in his hands. Will the choices of a man seeking to reclaim his lost honor save or destroy a nation? Vanity and valour will clash at every turn. Follow along through the eyes of aristocrats, corrupt politicians, and everyday folk as both proud peaks and quiet valleys become the stage for this rich story to unfold. Sweeping and cinematic in scope, this novel navigates adventures and themes evoking the likes of Dumas, Hugo, and Fielding. Yet its piercing examination of the complex spectators and participants in societal change ring more relevant today than ever.
