YA
Yann (The Red Necklace) returns to the horrors of revolutionary France. His exploits in Paris are interrupted by the return of Count Kalliovski, long presumed dead. Gardner employs lush prose and a colorful cast of characters. She uses magic as a method of illuminating good and evil and to throw the complexity of history into stark relief.
