home in England, fourteen-year-old Tatiana finds herself being tormented
by supernatural forces. To free herself from the increasingly persistent
hauntings, she has to find and release the ghost of an ancestor caught
up in the terror of the French Revolution. With the aid of her cousin,
Marcus, she sets out on a mission, which leads them through the dramas
of present-day life in Paris and the frightening upheavals of
Revolutionary France.
