About this item
In Genevieve Cogman's captivating follow-up, "Elusive," the tumultuous backdrop of Revolutionary France sets the stage for a gripping narrative blending history, fantasy, and intrigue.
Eleanor, once a humble English maid, has risen to prominence within the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel—a clandestine group celebrated for their audacious rescues of both aristocrats and vampires from the guillotine's deadly embrace. When the disappearance of the infamous French diplomat, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, raises alarms, Eleanor and her compatriots spring into action. What begins as a search for one man soon reveals a deeper conspiracy: warring vampire factions vie for supremacy, each seeking to shape the destiny of France itself.
Amidst the chaos of mutiny and political upheaval, Eleanor finds herself thrust into a pivotal role. With the Scarlet Pimpernel absent and a resurrected queen haunting Parisian streets, she must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly machinations to unravel the true threat endangering both mortals and immortals alike. Failure could mean not only the collapse of their missions but also the loss of her own life at the hands of those she swore to protect.
Cogman's narrative brims with tension and suspense, weaving together a tapestry of historical detail and supernatural intrigue. Her portrayal of Eleanor's evolution—from servant to stalwart defender—is both compelling and empowering, showcasing resilience and resourcefulness in a world teetering on the brink of revolution.
"Elusive" promises fans of the Scarlet Pimpernel tradition a fresh and imaginative take, blending swashbuckling adventure with the allure of the supernatural, reminiscent of beloved authors like Kim Newman and Gail Carriger. Cogman's adept storytelling and deft characterizations make "Elusive" a must-read for anyone captivated by tales of daring rescues, political intrigue, and the enduring struggle for liberty. 📚❤️
