Infos

In the fevered chaos of Revolutionary France, a vow of vengeance becomes the catalyst for a tale of passion, betrayal, and redemption. Years earlier, Juliette Marny's brother was killed in a duel by Paul Deroulede - a man she has sworn to destroy. Bound by honor to her dying brother's last words, Juliette infiltrates Paul's life, intent on luring him to the guillotine. But as her scheme unfolds, she discovers that Paul is no cold-blooded murderer but a man of integrity, loyalty, and secret connections to the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel. Torn between love and vengeance, Juliette must decide whether to honor her oath or her heart, all while the shadow of the guillotine looms ever closer. I Will Repay is a gripping blend of romance, intrigue, and high-stakes drama that will leave readers breathless.

Autor

Baroness Emmuska Orczy (1865–1947) was a Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright, and artist, best remembered as the creator of the legendary hero The Scarlet Pimpernel. Born in Tarnaörs, Hungary, she moved to London in her youth and established herself in literary circles with her flair for romantic adventure and historical drama. Orczy's groundbreaking novel The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905) introduced readers to Sir Percy Blakeney, the daring English aristocrat who, in disguise, rescued French nobles from the guillotine during the Revolution—an archetype that inspired countless masked and double-identity heroes in popular culture, from Zorro to Batman. Beyond the Pimpernel series, she penned detective stories such as The Old Man in the Corner, historical romances, and even works on Hungarian life and folklore. Her works combined suspense, wit, and a deep love for heroism, earning her international acclaim. Orczy continued writing until her final years, leaving behind a legacy as one of the pioneers of modern adventure and mystery fiction
