Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty. For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour – until she’s drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family.

It is 1793 and the French Revolution is in full swing. Vampires—usually rich and aristocratic—have slaked the guillotine’s thirst in large numbers. The mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, a disguised British noble, and his League are heroically rescuing dozens of aristocrats from execution, both human and vampire. And soon they will have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor Dalton.

England, 18. Jhdt. Vampirische und menschliche Aristokraten leben Seite an Seite. Das Bluttrinken ist eine geregelte Angelegenheit, gemordet wird höchstens im Geheimen. Als in Frankreich die Revolution ausbricht, schleust ein Engländer namens Scarlet Pimpernel Adelige auf die Insel, um sie vor der Guillotine zu retten - menschliche wie vampirische. Dadurch droht jedoch das prekäre Gleichgewicht in England zu kippen. Ein Dienstmädchen findet sich plötzlich zwischen den Fronten wieder.
