THE BREAD AND THE BLADE A Novel of the French Revolution Vaucelles-sur-Aisne, December 1788. The harvest has failed, the granary holds eleven weeks of thin bread, and Jean-Baptiste Rousset stands at the edge of his frozen field doing arithmetic that refuses to come out even. He doesn't know it yet, but he has just lived through the last entirely ordinary winter of his life. Twenty miles from Paris, a tenant farmer, a village blacksmith, and a debt-ridden Comte's daughter are about to be swept into the current of history - not as its architects, but as the people who actually have to live inside it. Over the next seven extraordinary years, *The Bread and the Blade* follows them through the fall of the Bastille, the abolition of feudal privilege, a King's execution, the Terror's anxious searches and denunciations, and the fragile peace that finally follows - measured not in the grand pronouncements of the Convention, but in bread prices, requisitioned sons, a burned statue, a silenced church bell, a ledger finally closed after two hundred years. Jean-Baptiste and Marguerite Rousset. Antoine and Victoire Lefebvre and their son Étienne, swept up in Paris's revolutionary fever. Isabelle de Vaucelles, reading Rousseau in secret while her father's world quietly comes apart. The steward caught between them all, the priest forced to choose between Rome and the Republic, and a wide cast of neighbors - millers, midwives, refugees, deserters, soldiers, peddlers - whose small, human reckonings add up to the real texture of a revolution. This is not a novel about kings and Committees. It's a novel about the people underneath them - who they loved, what they lost, and what, against every reasonable expectation, they managed to build from the wreckage of an old world's ending. *For readers of Hilary Mantel and Ken Follett - sweeping historical fiction grounded in the lives history usually leaves out.*

And, just to make certain everything goes according to his plan, Chauvelin has Marguerite kidnapped and imprisoned! Can Percy continue to disguise himself as Rateau and get away with it? Can Robespierre maintain power when betrayal is stirring in every corner? Will Marguerite be rescued without suffering the death of her husband? Will Chauvelin ever learn to tie his cravat properly?!

Unsure what else to do with the child, Andra's cruel uncle left her on the doorstep of the Paris Opera House where she was taken in and taught to sing. Years later Andra has made a name for herself as an opera singer, partly because she writes her own music. But this is not enough for Andra. She is tired of going to bed hungry. She is tired of being a slave to the opera house. She is tired of an ignorant king sitting on the throne of France. Enjolras never thought he would be one to fall in love.
