About This Book
The sharp chill of winter bites the air as Réné steps away from the warm halls of his childhood home, the echoes of laughter now replaced by the howling wind. With his parents lost to a fierce fever, the young noble sets off toward the bustling streets of Paris, where adventure and danger await at every turn. Can Réné find his place in a world suddenly so vast and uncertain?
