Paris, 1793. As the guillotine's shadow lengthens over the city of light, aristocrat Elise Beaumont finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of survival. The Beaumont name, once a symbol of nobility and grace, has become a death sentence during the Reign of Terror. Escaping into Paris, one wrong move could spell disaster for her and what remains of her once-illustrious family. Jean-Luc Moreau has known nothing but poverty and hardship. Now a passionate revolutionary fighting for liberty and justice, he believes the nobles must pay for generations of oppression. But when he encounters the enigmatic Elise during a midnight raid, he finds his convictions challenged by her courage and compassion. As violence engulfs Paris and suspicions run deep, Elise and Jean-Luc find themselves drawn into a dangerous dance of secrets and desire. She sees beyond his rough exterior to the wounded soul beneath; he discovers that everything he thought he knew about the nobility might not apply to this remarkable woman. But with every passing day bringing new dangers, they must choose between loyalty to their causes and a love that could cost them everything. In this sixth installment of the Legacy of Love Series, the descendants of Lucien and Isolde Beaumont face their greatest challenge yet, where love must find its way through the shadows of revolution.

Whisked away to France for her mother's job, Lucie finds herself an entire ocean away from everything she's ever known- and that's just the beginning. When a dark secret from her great-grandmother's childhood emerges, Lucie is launched into a search for the truth about her family's past.

One day is all Princess Aurelie has left. In just one day, she needs to survive her curse and get out of her tower so she can become the leader of her people. So the game begins, and the stakes increase as each new character comes into play, the nobility of the kingdom vying for power or influence as they move in and out of the tower, while the door always remains shut to the princess. It is only through the search for truth and the revelation of her own power that Aurelie will find the keys that could finally unlock that door-and her destiny. But first, she must decide: Is she willing to pay the cost? This fairy tale retelling, set in Medieval France, is the beginning of a gripping four-part saga in which love and self-liberation are more powerful than any prison of sand or spell or stone.

In Belcourt, they rear weapons no man can contend with: women. Sasha was never meant to be in the Court of Flowers, one of the most sought-after courts in Belcourt, but when she is suddenly placed there without warning, she discovers a world far from what she expected--one that reeks of passion, seduction, secrets, and betrayal. ***** Belcourt, an orphanage for young girls, keeps many secrets within its walls. Among those are the four courts that rear the kingdom's most powerful weapons: the Ladies of Belcourt. Sasha is safely tucked away in the Court of Libraries when Belcourt makes a sudden decision it has never done before in more than half a century. She is transferred into the Court of Flowers, the most famous court of all, where she is expected to service gentlemen who paid their way in for a Belle, a woman trained to please, seduce, and spy. Things take a turn when she is introduced to the mysterious West Blackwood who has a very different service in mind, one too tempting and one that may ultimately change Sasha's safe life in Belcourt. Torn between powerful forces, both the kingdom and Belcourt itself, Sasha will have to determine where her loyalties lie: to the man who not only infuriates her at every turn but also awakens sensations she never felt before? Or to the place that has always been her home since the day she walked away from a cottage with two dead bodies?

L'Ange de la Mort (The Art of Revolution #1) by poznati

{Wattys 2018 Winner - The Contemporaries} Versailles, France 1789: Where the only things more prevalent than opulence and wealth, are secrets. At the dawn of the French Revolution, Paris is divided. In the glittering palace of Versailles, courtiers party without a care in the world, but in the city, people must fight to stay alive. Eighteen-year-old courtier Gabriel de la Marche is part of both worlds. When Gabriel was fourteen, his older sister went missing, and desperation for answers led him to strike a deal with an underground organization of assassins-they would use their connections to help Gabriel find his sister, if Gabriel agreed to kill members of nobility under the alias L'Ange de la Mort. Four years later, he still hasn't found his sister, and the repercussions of his decision are catching up with him. But he fears it might be too late to turn back now. The daughter of a French mother and a wealthy English earl, Lizabeth survived in the womb when her twin brother did not. Believed by her family to be cursed, she has grown up shamed and unloved, locked away in her father's estate. That is, until Lizabeth's mother strikes a deal of her own. If Lizabeth travels to Versailles and kills L'Ange de la Mort, she'll be granted her freedom. At the palace, Gabriel and Lizabeth fall headfirst into love, neither of them knowing the other's secret. Amid lavish court life, Lizabeth desperately searches for the identity of L'Ange de la Mort while Gabriel searches for the person rumored to want him dead. And when the truth is finally revealed, they discover they've become entrapped in a plot bigger than either of them could have imagined. One which could change all of France. stunning cover by storms_and_seas! aesthetics by makovea!

In the first installment of this series, God's Country, a Christian revolution overwhelmed Britain, and we followed a number of characters through a harrowing year as the world changed around them. In the second episode, we pick up their lives several years later, with the new government fully in control, but approaching a general election, where their actions will be judged by the people. Will Brogan escape? Will the Reformists be kicked out of power? Will there be lots of trouble and emotional suffering? You bet... This story is already finished, but I am going to release it slowly to see how that affects the readership, so every couple of days.
