El Dorado

In Paris, the audience applauds Molière while the guillotine waits outside—and the men who send victims there have come to enjoy the play. From a dark theatre box, Armand St. Just hears how freely a spy may wield the power of life and death.

In January 1794, terror has become part of the city’s evening entertainment: by day, citizens watch executions; by night, they crowd the Theatre National. Against this blood-soaked backdrop, Sir Percy Blakeney undertakes a perilous mission to save the young Dauphin from revolutionary Paris. But the new powers granted to the spies mean that any home may be searched and anyone branded an enemy of the Republic. Can the Scarlet Pimpernel outwit a city where suspicion itself can be a death sentence?
