Jeanne Andole is one of hundreds rescued by the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel almost daily. Yet only a promise from him that her family will also escape the dreaded death so common these days--Madame la Guillotine--induces her to reluctantly go to the safety of England before they do.

As soon as she has arrived, however, trouble is already brewing. Living guiltily in luxurious England, Jeanne is aroused by a startling truth which cannot go unheeded, and which sends her back willingly into the clutches of Revolutionary France to recover her endangered family.  Is her family safe with the Scarlet Pimpernel?  Will Jeanne trust God to bring them all safely back to England?
