The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel

In The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy brings her legendary hero to one of his most dangerous confrontations yet. France remains gripped by Revolutionary terror, and the guillotine claims lives daily. Against this backdrop, Sir Percy Blakeney — the Scarlet Pimpernel — embarks on another perilous rescue mission. But his cunning adversary Chauvelin is more determined than ever to crush him, laying intricate traps that strike at Percy's courage, loyalty, and even his marriage to Marguerite. Love and devotion collide with vengeance and political ruthlessness in a battle of wits that tests the very limits of the Pimpernel's brilliance. Suspenseful, romantic, and richly atmospheric, this novel captures the heart-pounding excitement that made the Scarlet Pimpernel one of the greatest adventure heroes in literature.
