Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution and its impact on British politics, this action-driven novel shows once again that Celia Rees is one of our very best writers for teenage readers. Wild and beautiful, spoilt and wilful, Sovay finds that her cosseted life in rural England has not prepared her for life as a highway robber, for defending the honour of her family or for trying to save herself from corruption and evil. As Sovay becomes more and more embroiled in adventures she could scarcely have imagined, a story of dark intrigue, thwarted passions and sinister intentions is revealed to her. Will she be able to survive, and if she does so, at what cost?

Celia Rees lives in Warwickshire, England. Her first novel for Bloomsbury, Witch Child, has been adopted by educational boards up and down the country and is now required reading in secondary schools in the UK. Celia has a degree in history, a strong interest in which is still evident in her brilliantly researched books.
