But as she works her way into the inner circle of Robespierre and his mistress, she learns that not even oceans can stop the flames of revolution. Sylvie de Rosiers, the biracial daughter of a rich planter in 1791 Saint-Domingue, is both a lady born to privilege and a damning reminder of her father's infidelity with an enslaved woman. After a violent slave uprising begins the Haitian Revolution, Sylvie and her brother leave their parents and old lives behind to flee unwittingly into another uprising--austere and radical Paris. Sylvie quickly becomes enamored with the aims of the Revolution, as well as with the revolutionaries themselves--most notably Maximilien Robespierre and his mistress, CorneÌlie Duplay. As a rising leader and abolitionist, Robespierre sees an opportunity to exploit Sylvie's race and abandonment of her aristocratic roots as an example of his ideals, while the strong-willed CorneÌlie offers Sylvie guidance in free thought and a safe harbor. Sylvie battles with her past complicity in a slave society and her future within this new world order as she finds herself increasingly tugged between Robespierre's ideology and CorneÌlie's love. When the Reign of Terror descends, she must decide whether to become an accomplice while another kingdom rises on the bones of innocents... or risk losing her head"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Revolution, 1789-1799 $v Fiction. $9 214933 600 10 $a Robespierre, Maximilien, $d 1758-1794 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Haiti $x History $y Revolution, 1791-1804 $v Fiction. $9 232015 650 0 $a Racially mixed women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Fiction. $9 264902 650 0 $a Bisexuals $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Large type books. $9 41148 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802185 655 7 $a Bisexual fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024933.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230829010842.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20230817010408.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20221004010327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A834DADC300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
