"Here," he said, kicking the ground with his foot, "at this very spot, the French people took what was rightfully theirs. They tore down the symbol of the King's power. And here..." he crouched down in front of me and lifted up my chin with his finger. "This is where the monarchy is going to end once and for all."

Seventeen year-old Lucie Freeman never thought her senior year was going to be like this. 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. As the old story unravels, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies that bring her dangerously close to the same fate and the shocking realization that trusting too easily makes way for the biggest betrayal of all.

A Royal Rebellion
The secret seemed to be etched across my face, the words "traitor" branded on my forehead. I wondered how everyone would feel if they knew what I'd just done, if they knew the treason and danger I'd just committed myself too. If they knew that the helpless girl in the pink dress was something more than a background character. ... It's 1776, and the Revolutionary War is in full swing. Everyday men fight and die for their country on the battlefield, and people grow poorer and poorer everyday as King George continues to tax the colonies. But while civilians drop like flies, nineteen year old Rose and her family are safe in England and as close as ever to King George and his obnoxious daughter Princess Sophia. Rose has a life that one would dream of; endless money and luxury, marriage offerings from every suitor in town, and the privilege of having the royal family in the palm of her hand. Except there's one flaw to Rose's perfect life: she hates it. While everyone else is jealous of Rose's wealth and luck, all Rose wants is to return to her hometown Virginia and get away from Princess Sophia and her minions. But then Rose meets Fiona. She's leader of the Shadow Group, a group of overlooked woman who sneak information from the British and send it to the colonies. Desperate to escape her living nightmare, Rose joins and her luck starts to change. Soon she's secretly attending meetings and flirting information out of her chosen suitor to help her hometown; until the ultimate betrayal tears the group apart. Will Rose make it out of Britain and live the life she's always wanted or to persevere her family's reputation? Or will she crumble under the King's careful thumb and break free forever? It's time Britain realized that it's not just the colonies ready for a rebellion. COMPLETEDComplete
