Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this duet is an epic tale that combines a vivid sense of history, characters full of Dickensian drama and fascination, and a sizzling adventure with touches of magic and romance.

It is the story of a remarkable boy called Yann Margoza; Tetu the dwarf, his friend and mentor; Sido, unloved daughter of a foolish Marquis; and Count Kalliovski, Grand Master of a secret society. Yann's desperate mission in the turmoil of Paris is pursued amidst a tangle of secrets, a thread of magic - and with a touch of humour.
