1794: Paris seethes like a many-headed serpent in the Reign of Terror. Deception, betrayal, heart break and fear flourish. Outcasts Camille Laroche, a revolutionary's daughter, Ada, her runaway lover, Guil a deserter, and Al, an aristocrat, are the Battalion of the Dead. They choose their family, their future and they choose to fight, to cheat the guillotine of its bloody harvest, even as the blade falls. Their latest mission is a girl possessing dark, disturbing powers, hunted by Royalists and Revolutionaries. Who is playing who in this treacherous game of science, magic, love and loss?
