As Napoleon rises from the ashes of the French Revolution, one woman dares to defy him. Imprisoned for the crime of impersonating a man, Geneviève LaGarde fears giving birth in an asylum could be certain death for her and her unborn child. Desperate for her release, her husband, Louis, trades his freedom for hers and joins Bonaparte’s army in Egypt. As Geneviève wages her own war by spying against the tyrannical general, she not only risks her own life but also those of her children and the four hundred families who depend on the Château de Verzat estate. Knowing her desperate actions could cause the government to confiscate the entire vineyard, she sacrifices all to save her husband and protect her community, but her actions could also hasten her husband’s demise. In a world of shifting allegiances, Geneviève must choose between love and duty, hope and despair, as she fights for her family’s survival.
