The sequel to The Resolute Heart, by Beatrice Hale

Fresh from the Battle of Trafalgar and the capture of the rebel Campbell, Ewen Cameron just wants to go home to his beloved Edinburgh. But duty calls: his employers have wind of a new secret society that threatens to use Napoleon Bonaparte’s powers to enforce an independent Scotland. Cameron must go to Paris to find and destroy the society’s lines of communication, but this will never be easy when it’s hard to tell friends from enemies, and it isn’t long before his life is in danger. Will he escape, or will the society’s agents triumph? And who is the mysterious Madame Souris?
