This 5th volume of the Marie Antoinette Romances begins after the fall of the Bastille and the March on Versailles, which forced Louis XVI and his court to be escorted back to Paris. In Paris, political factions battle over the fate of the nation, the royal family, and anyone with royalist sympathies.

All the while, the prophetic Balsamo urges on the revolution.

This 4th volume of the Marie Antoinette Romances begins several years after the close of "The Queen’s Necklace". It describes the events leading up to and including the storming of the Bastile.

Considered by many critics to be a highlight of the Marie Antoinette Romances, Dumas tells this quintessential story of the French Revolution through the lens of the people.
